Elgar Parishad case: Bombay High Court rejects activist Gautam Navlakha's bail appeal
FirstpostMumbai: The Bombay High Court on Monday dismissed activist Gautam Navlakha’s appeal seeking bail in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case, saying it sees no reason to interfere with a special court’s order which earlier rejected his bail plea. A bench of Justices SS Shinde and MS Karnik on Monday said it had gone through a special NIA court’s order of last year rejecting Navlakha’s bail plea, and that it saw “no reason to interfere” with the order. Navlakha approached the HC last year, challenging the special NIA court’s order of 12 July, 2020 that rejected his plea for statutory bail. The special court had then accepted NIA’s plea seeking extension of 90 to 180 days to file the charge sheet against Navlakha and his co-accused, activist Dr Anand Teltumbde.
