Vs Kapil Wadhawan) #SupremeCourt
#SupremeCourt says question of interim bail to be considered at the earliest by the three judge bench.
Justice Kaul-- it may not be open for a 2 judge bench to consider these issues.
Singhvi-- they have been in jail for over 11 months. The legal issue is open.
@DrAMSinghvi : When a conflict in law is there the decision should be in favour of the accused.
Justice Kaul-- a larger bench must consider this issue. We will request CJI to constitute a bench at the earliest. The conflict may be capable of resolution by a 3 judge
SC: So far as the interim bail plea is considered, even that must be decided by a 3 judge bench. We retrospectively feel a little guilty that we heard this matter for a long time.
We will try to frame the issues at the earliest.
