Just In:
[Lakhimpur Kheri Violence case] Final arguments concluded on Ashish Mishra's bail plea in Allahabad High Court today.
#lakhimpurkheri
Mishra's counsel argued that Mishra was not driving the Thar which had allegedly killed protestors and he was only seen running away from crime scene.
"There is no evidence on record to impose any criminal liability on my client, he is being connected unnecessarily," he said.
One correction application was filed at the last moment. Though Mishra's counsel argued that as the court had decided to reserve the order before it, let separate orders be passed.
However, court allowed the application and directed the main bail plea to be corrected by tonight.
"All along the prosecution case, Mishra has only been accused of sitting beside the driver of the Thar car and running away after the alleged accident," argued Mishra's counsel before Allahabad High Court today.

#SupremeCourt to hear plea filed by Bhartiya Janta Party MLA's challenging the resolution passed by the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly suspending the BJP MLA's for a period of one year over alleged misbehavior with the presiding officer.
Sr ADV C Aryama Sundaram submitted that "How far a judicial review can be applied for the quantum of the punishment."

Justice AM Khanwilkar- there is no question of judicial review, there is a limit given.
Anything beyond that would be unconstitutional.
J Khanwilkar- If the legislature was to provide beyond this period, would it not hit the Act made by parliament or the constitution.
