‘Court’s oath: to work without fear and favour’
I will get back to work soon. The Shiv Sena’s saffron flag will fly atop the BMC’s headquarters just like it has been flying for the last 30-35 years. Whoever tries to touch it, their fingers will burn. Now we have the Mashaal (flaming torch). Only one Shiv Sena is real, it is Balasaheb’s Shiv Sena and Uddhavji’s Shiv Sena. Only temporary politics is being played out right now, I am taking information.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Wednesday rushed to the Bombay high court to seek a stay on the bail granted to Sanjay Raut and his associate Pravin Raut in the money laundering case against them, but got no immediate relief.
Justice Bharati Dangre, who gave a hearing to Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh for a while, said shewould hear the issue again on Thursday, and was not inclined to intervene or pass any urgent stay order.Singh sought an interim order to prevent Raut from being released till then. Justice Dangre, however, said that she would rather hear the matter at length on Thursday, touching on all issues before passing an order, and added that in case Raut is released from jail by then and if she decides in favour of the ED, he can always be taken back into custody.

Mumbai: Sanjay Raut gets bail after 3 months, court calls arrest 'witch hunt'
Calling Sanjay Raut's arrest illegal, without reason and a prima facie indication of a witch hunt, a PMLA court Wednesday granted bail to the Sena MP (61) who has spent around 100 days in jail.
Raut was arrested by ED in a Rs1,034-crore money laundering case linked to alleged irregularities in the redevelopment of Patra Chawl in Goregaon West. Special judge MG Deshpande also granted relief to Sanjay Raut's friend, businessman Pravin Raut.
The judge said the prime object of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act was confiscation and not an illegal arrest.
