SC to hear plea against Shahabuddin's bail on Wednesday

The Supreme Court on Monday said that it will hear on Wednesday the Bihar government's petition challenging the Patna High Court's grant of bail to criminal-turned-politician Mohamed Shahabuddin in the case of a journalist's murder.

Chandrakeshwar Prasad of Siwan in Bihar, the father of the slain journalist Rajiv Roshan, has moved the apex court challenging the Patna High Court's September 7 order granting bail to Shahabuddin. The trial in the murder case is yet to commence.
