The Bombay High Court has refused to cancel the bail granted to Yogesh Deshmukh, a builder and associate of Shiv Sena Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) Pratap Sarnaik, in a money laundering case connected to the 2013 National Spot Exchange Ltd (NSEL) scam.

Justice SK Shinde rejected the application filed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) seeking cancellation of Deshmukh's bail. Deshmukh was granted bail by a special court last month in the 2013 NSEL scam. The ED had challenged this bail before the HC.
