SC cancels red sanders smuggler's bail order

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 03 Agustus 2013 | 22.23

MUMBAI: The Supreme Court on Friday cancelled its order granting bail to red sanders smuggling kingpin Ajit Satam after he failed to abide by the conditions set by it. The apex court has given Satam four days to surrender.

Satam headed a syndicate that procured red sanders from the Karnataka forests and smuggled them from Nhava Sheva port to Dubai.

One of the bail conditions set by the SC was that Satam should attend the Dadar police station every day. But the Dadar police told the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) that he did not appear even once between December 6, 2012, and Februray 2, 2013.

The DRI moved the apex court in February against the bail granted to Satam by former CJI Altamas Kabir on December 4 last year. Satam had challenged the government's decision to detain him in jail for a year under Conservation of Foreign Exchange and Prevention of Smuggling Activities Act to prevent him from carrying out smuggling activities. The apex court further extended the bail paid on January 8 and subsequently on June 23.

He was first arrested in 2004 and four years later, detained in jail for a year to prevent him from carrying out further smuggling. He resumed his smuggling activities and in September 2011 he again attempted smuggling 13 containers carrying 200 tonnes red sanders when Directorate of Revenue Intelligence intercepted it, arrested Satam and his aide Deepak Jare. DRI also recovered another 45 tonnes from a godown in Kolhapur.

In March this year, the Enforcement Directorate had attached Satam's six properties, eight high end cars, Rs 30 crore lying in various bank accounts besides Rs 3 crore investment for a 4600 sq ft flat in Dadar and Rs 50 lakh paid to a producer for making a movie. The government had also imposed a Rs 110 crore penalty on Satam.
