* SC ordered a special court in Kolkata to expeditiously decide a bail plea of TMC leader Kuntal Ghosh who was arrested in January last year in a money laundering case linked to alleged West Bengal school jobs-for-bribes scam.
* SC agreed to hear on October 3 a bail plea of Chhattisgarh-based businessman Sunil Dammani, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in August last year in a money laundering case linked to the illegal gambling Mahadev app.
