Refusal to grant temporary bail
No Bail For Nawab : After hearing the arguments of all the parties in this case, the court on Thursday refused to grant temporary bail to Malik and Deshmukh. The ED had opposed their petitions, saying that prisoners do not have the right to vote under the Representation of the People Act. Deshmukh was arrested by the ED in a money laundering case in November 2021. Malik was arrested by the ED on February 23 this year in connection with the probe into a money laundering case involving the activities of fugitive gangster Dawood Ibrahim and his associates.

The ruling Shiv Sena has fielded two candidates, while its allies NCP and Congress have fielded one candidate each. At the same time, the opposition BJP has fielded three candidates.
