The Delhi High Court on Thursday fixed March 23 for the hearing on the pleas seeking cancellation of interim bail granted to JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar in a sedition case.
“The petitions have been received on transfer. Renotify for March 23,” Justice Suresh Kait said. However, when the judge fixed the hearing on next date, advocate R P Luthra, who appeared for one of the petitioners seeking cancellation of interim bail as well as initiation of perjury proceedings against Kanhaiya, told the Bench that it was an urgent matter and it should be heard on March 21.
“My request is that since it is a sensitive and urgent matter, it should be heard on Monday (March 21),” Luthra said.
