In the Bhima Koregaon case, the Supreme Court of India on Friday granted bail to Vernon Gonsalves and Arun Ferreira.…
Senior advocate Neeraj Kishan Kaul appearing for Senthil Balaji said that the remark by Solicitor General was in bad taste and the highest court of the country had ruled on Navlakha's rights.
Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, representing Teltumbde, contended before the bench that the high court has already dealt with the matter and they showed to it that there is no evidence against him.
The 84-year-old activist - hailing from Tamil Nadu's Trichy - was suffering from hearing loss, lumbar spondylosis, complications arising out of Covid-19, lung problems and Parkinson's.
Arun Ferreira, Vernon Gonsalves and Sudha Bharadwaj were arrested by the Pune police from different parts of India, for their role in Pune’s December 31, 2017 Elgar Parishad gathering that allegedly triggered the caste riots in Bhima-Koregaon.
The classic novel about Russia became a point of contention after Pune Police claimed the book was part of the "highly incriminating evidence" it had seized from Vernon Gonsalves' house in Mumbai during raids conducted a year ago in relation to Bhima Koregaon case.
Earlier today, a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court refused a SIT probe in the arrest of five activists picked up by Pune police in connection with Bhima-Koregaon violence.
A bench headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra said that it will examine two days later whether there is material supporting the arrest of five rights activists.
The petitioners said that the arrests are an attempt “to silence dissent, stop people from helping the downtrodden and marginalised people across the Nation and to instil fear in minds of people”.
