Mumbai: Bombay HC reserves order on interim bail plea of Gadling – Times of India

Mumbai: The Bombay high court on Monday reserved for order a plea by Elgar Parishad case accused Surendra Gadling for interim bail to go to Nagpur to conduct the funeral rituals of his mother on her first death anniversary on August 15.
Gadling had challenged a Se-ptember 2020 rejection of the NIA court and the agency said much time has passed and the trial court’s order cannot be disturbed now. The NIA also cited the charges to argue he faces a se-rious case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
Gadling had sought interim bail last year and his counsel Indira Jaising said he may be granted a three-week interim release on bail to perform the rituals as he was granted no relief last year when his mother passed away. The NIA, represented by additional solicitor general Anil Singh and advocate Sandesh Patil, had submitted a short reply to oppose his plea. On Monday, Patil said the grounds for rejection in the trial court order were that the allegations were under the UAPA, and hence serious in nature. The NIA on Monday said as it has been almost 10 months since the order, Gadling has “sought to introduce a new reason for temporary bail” by saying the family wants to conduct the funeral rites. tnn
