Nothing to show Kanhaiya violated bail conditions: Govt
24 March 2016 12:19 AM GMT
Hearing on JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar in Delhi High Court on Wednesday saw the AAP government taking a firm stand that there was no violation of any bail condition by the student leader, even as Delhi Police sought to buy time saying the matter was being probed.
The police said it cannot comment on the pleas seeking cancellation of interim bail granted to Kanhaiya without verifying facts and they were investigating whether any bail condition was violated.
The investigators’ response came after the Delhi government categorically stated that no grounds have been shown by petitioners which warrant cancellation of Kanhaiya’s interim bail at this stage.
The court was hearing arguments, which would continue on April 28, on separate pleas seeking cancellation of interim bail to Kanhaiya on the ground that his speech after his release from Tihar Jail here earlier this month was “anti- national” and he had violated the bail conditions. They have also sought initiation of perjury proceedings against him.
However, special public prosecutor Shailendra Babbar, appearing for the Delhi Police, said “as regards the allegations that he (Kanhaiya) has violated the bail conditions, this fact is disputed. Unless verified by us, we cannot comment on this. The investigation is going on.”
HC refuses to cancel Kanhaiya’s bail for now
The High Court on Wednesday declined to cancel the interim bail granted to JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar for now. Justice Suresh Kait adjourned the hearing to April 28 after Delhi Police said it was verifying whether Kanhaiya violated interim bail conditions. Delhi Police’s counsel Shailendra Babbar told the Court that police is already investigating the case and have not approached the Court yet.
