Days after Maharashtra Cabinet Minister Chhagan Bhujbal and his family were discharged in the money laundering case tied to the Maharashtra Sadan scam, social activist Anjali Damania has taken urgent legal steps. She has written to the Chief Justice of the Bombay High Court, requesting suspension of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court's discharge order. Damania argues the lower court made "mistakes concerning predicate offences" and wrongly assumed the prosecution’s base no longer exists. "The impugned order proceeds on the incorrect assumption that the foundation of the prosecution no longer exists, thereby it undermines the purpose of PIL No. 23/2014," she said. The activist, who filed the original Public Interest Litigation (PIL) alleging corruption by Bhujbal, noted his family’s involvement in illegal allotment of the New Maharashtra Sadan project in Delhi, awarding contracts without tenders, accepting kickbacks via shell companies, and cheating in other housing projects. Earlier, the Bombay court discharged Bhujbal on January 23, 2026, stating there was "no generation of proceeds of crime". Special Judge Satyanarayan R. Navander said, "When there were no proceeds of crime, no question of its layering or siphoning further arises." In her letter, Damania highlighted that three FIRs against Bhujbal and others remain active: one for the Maharashtra Sadan case (charges under Prevention of Corruption Act), another for alleged ₹2.5 crore illegal gratification in the Central Library, Kalina, and a third for cheating over 2344 flat buyers in the Hexworld Housing project totaling around ₹44.04 crores. She insists these FIRs form the predicate offences needed for PMLA proceedings. Damania pointed out ongoing trials and objections from the Enforcement Directorate stating that prosecution under PMLA will continue. She claims "discharge in one FIR does not extinguish other scheduled offences" and stresses money laundering is a continuing offence under law. Her plea seeks to stay the discharge order and ensure thorough investigations proceed. The PIL and investigations began in 2014 with a Special Investigation Team formed by the Bombay High Court. The case has dragged on for years, and this move by Damania promises to keep the heat on Bhujbal and his family in the high-stakes Maharashtra Sadan scandal.
