DS Kulkarni Granted Bail by Supreme Court, His Counsellor Advocate Aashutosh Srivastava Becomes a National Sensation! The Supreme Court has granted bail to Deepak Sakharam Kulkarni famously known as DSK after hearing the bail plea challenging the Bombay High Court's order (August 2021) in connection with the Rs 2,043 crore investors’ fraud case. A Supreme Court bench consisting of Honorable Justices SA Nazeer & JK Maheshwari in their order stated, “Rahul Chitnis, learned counsel appearing for the State of Maharashtra, has filed a counter affidavit and opposed the grant of bail. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and having perused the record, we are of the view that the petitioner be released on bail. Therefore, we direct the release of the petitioner on bail subject to the conditions to be

imposed by the trial court. The Special Leave Petition is disposed of accordingly. Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of.” A regular bail petition was submitted by the Lawyer for Deepak Sakharam Kulkarni (DSK) Advocate Aashutosh Srivastava who represented the matter on behalf of DSK, Mr. Srivastava brought the Honorable Court’s attention to various crucial facts and events related to the case and argued why an earlier order of the Bombay High Court has been challenged.

He was arrested on February 17, 2018, and has been incarcerated since then the investigation is already completed and charge sheet has been filed by the investigating officer and all the properties were already seized by the authorities and all the necessary documents and material pieces of evidence have already been procured by the investigating agencies and placed on records and there is nothing left to be recovered from him. Most notably, the trial is not initiated in the matter.” The supporting arguments submitted by Advocate Aashutosh Srivastava highlighting critical details in regards to the due legal procedures followed in this case were accepted by the Honorable bench.
