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.
