Former Jharkhand CM, Hemant Soren, seeks Supreme Court intervention citing delay by the state high court in deciding his petition challenging his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on money laundering charges. Soren's counsel, Kapil Sibal, urges urgent hearing ahead of Lok Sabha elections, expressing concerns over prolonged legal proceedings. Despite filing a fresh plea, SC defers assigning a hearing date, directing Soren to approach the Chief Justice of India. Soren's arrest, minutes after resignation, sparked legal battles, with ED alleging his involvement in land-related irregularities. Bail plea hearing scheduled in Ranchi trial court on May 1.
