Kodnani suffering from suicidal impulse, top court extends bail

The Supreme Court on Monday extended till 24 February the interim bail to former Gujarat minister Maya Kodnani, convicted in the 2002 Naroda Patiya riots case, but made it clear that it won’t be further extended if she fails to file an affidavit stating the kind of burn injury she suffered. The apex court refused the plea of her advocate Ram Jethmalani who pleaded for bail on the ground that she is suffering from suicidal impulse and asked him to file affidavit of burn injury that she suffered recently due to which it extended the interim bail twice.

‘Don’t ask us to do what is impermissible in law. We have seen the photograph and we are not satisfied,’ a bench of justices HL Dattu and S A Bobde said, asking him to file affidavit giving details of her burn injury.
