Adv Prashant Bhushan says he jas filed an intervention application on behalf of CPIL.

Bhushan- This petition is a copy paste of our petition. Every comma, full stop everything is copy pasted. Your lordship may adjourn the matter and see how this is an abuse of process of law.
Bhushan- Neither the petitioner nor the Centre had pointed about my petition in the Supreme Court.

ASG Chetan Sharm- We had no idea about it.

Adv BS Bagga- This is an allegation. The petition is our hardwork. Mr. Bhushan may file an intervention.

#rakeshasthana
Bench- You may file an application

Bhushan- This is an abuse of law. Your lordship didn’t get me. They have copy pasted my petition

ASG Chetan Sharm- This is competitive litigation. (Laughs)

#Rakeshasthana
Bhushan- I am sorry but Mr Sharma is laughing at this but I am squrely raising allegation against the Centre also. Mr Tushar Mehta appeared in the Supreme Court and he was aware of our petition.

Bench adjourns matter till tomorrow.

Delhi High Court denies bail to two accused persons in #DelhiRiots case of violence against the @DelhiPolice in which HC Ratan Lal lost his life.
Noting that the footage of the two accused persons at the "Scene of Crime is quite egregious," the court said it was "sufficient to keep the Petitioner(s) in custody."
Comparing the cases to those of other accused who were given bail in the matter, the court said the Petitioners "did not satisfy the ingredients to claim bail on ground of parity with the other co-accused...as none of those co-accused...were caught in an overt act..."
