The court has extended the interim bail of actor Jacqueline Fernandez till Nov 10 in the money laundering case registered by the Enforcement Directorate under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
Special Judge Shailendra Malik after extending the interim protection to Fernandez directed the investigating agency to supply a copy of chargesheet and other documents to the accused person and adjourned the matter for further hearing on Nov 10.
The Special Court after hearing arguments on behalf of the Prosecution and Defence Counsel granted bail to Fernandez on September 26 with the condition of furnishing a personal bond of Rs 50,000.
