Bombay High Court directs Kolhapur Court to decide Koratkar’s pre-arrest bail over Shivaji remarks
The HinduThe Bombay High Court on Tuesday directed the Kolhapur Sessions Court to decide the anticipatory bail plea of former journalist Prashant Koratkar, who is accused of making offensive remarks on Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and his son, Sambhaji Maharaj. Justice Rajesh Patil observed, “This court expects that the Additional Sessions Court would hear all the parties and would pass an order in accordance with the law.” On Monday, the HC had agreed to urgently hear the Maharashtra government’s petition on Tuesday that sought cancellation of pre-arrest bail granted to Nagpur-based journalist, Prashant Koratkar in a case of alleged attempts to breach communal harmony. Advocate Asim Sarode representing historian Indrajit Sawant also demanded that the accused Mr. Koratkar has ceased his right to demand interim bail as he has not followed any of the conditions imposed by the Sessions Court while granting interim protection and he has destroyed the evidence in the mobile phone. Advocates Saurabh Ghag and Sidhant Raul for Mr. Koratkar contended that since the Kolhapur Sessions Court had listed the matter for hearing on Tuesday, the State government’s application is not maintainable.
