Punjab and Haryana High Court Rejects Bail Plea of Developer Jarnail Singh Bajwa
The Punjab and Haryana High Court dismissed real estate developer Jarnail Singh Bajwa's regular bail plea in a case involving allegations under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). Justice Manisha Batra noted reasonable grounds to believe Bajwa, Managing Director of Bajwa Developers Limited, committed offenses related to collecting large sums from customers with promises of timely possession and clear titles, which were allegedly unfulfilled. Multiple FIRs, including 41 from customers, accuse him of cheating through multiple sales and unauthorized allotments, with funds reportedly diverted from project development to other uses.
