Arrested JMM leader and former Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren on Monday reached the assembly here to take part in a trust vote of the Champai Soren-led government.
A special court in Ranchi has allowed Hemant Soren, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) executive president, to participate in the floor test.
Hemant Soren was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate on January 31 in a money laundering case linked to an alleged land scam.

He was remanded to ED custody for five days by the court on February 2.
Hemant Soren had filed a petition before the special PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) court, seeking permission to participate in the trust vote sought by the new government.
He had pleaded before the court that he is a member of the assembly and has a right to participate in the special session of the House.
Earlier Senior advocate and Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal has accused the Enforcement Directorate (ED) of fabricating evidence against former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren in money-laundering case related to an alleged land fraud. Soren, who resigned from his position before his arrest, was taken into ED custody following the PMLA court's order.
Sibal, representing Soren, questioned the basis of the arrest, highlighting the lack of evidence such as transactions or communications between Soren and Bhanu Pratap, a tax department official involved in the case. He alleged that the ED is planning to coerce Pratap into implicating Soren, criticizing the agency's approach in handling the case.
The new government led by Champai Soren has sought the floor test to prove its majority in the House.
JMM legislature party leader Champai Soren took oath as the chief minister of Jharkhand on February 2, after his predecessor Hemant Soren's arrest.
