The Supreme Court on Friday granted bail to UP MLA Abbas Ansari — son of the late gangster-politician Mukhtar Ansari — in a money laundering case.

Acting on Ansari’s petition challenging the Allahabad High Court’s order denying him bail, a Bench led by Justice MM Sundresh ordered the release of the Mau MLA, who is currently lodged in Kasganj jail since November 2022.

The Allahabad HC had rejected Ansari’s bail plea on 9 May, citing the material on record, including flow charts that clearly demonstrated the origin of the laundered funds.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
