Delhi Court Grants Bail to AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan in Waqf Board Case

Despite sufficient evidence, the court declined prosecution due to lack of sanction, ordering Khan's release on a ₹1 lakh bail bond.

• The Delhi court refused to take cognizance of the Enforcement Directorate's supplementary chargesheet against Amanatullah Khan.
• The charges relate to alleged money laundering and irregularities in the Delhi Waqf Board during Khan's tenure as chairman.
• Special Judge Jitendra Singh cited the absence of prosecution sanction as the reason for declining to proceed with the trial.
• Khan's arrest by the ED on September 2 was based on allegations of laundering funds through illegal board appointments.
• The court also discharged Mariam Siddiqui, citing insufficient evidence against her in the case.
