#SupremeCourt hearing plea seeking bail filed by former Rotomac director Rahul Kothari for allegedly defrauding around Rs. 3500/- Crore from banks
Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi appearing for Kothari submitted that another bench today pronounced it's judgement, now we seek bail in main appeal, his father died and he is the only son. There are 67 foreign accused.
Rohatgi- The chargesheet has been filed in 2020 and still the matter is at appearance stage.
Earlier, the court didn't pass any order as they were awaiting the judgment in the matter listed before another bench over the same matter.
Justic Chandrachud- Now for your regular bail either you apply before competent court.

Rohatgi- I'm in an SLP, they dismissed.
I'll file a fresh bail application before the High Court, your Lordships may say it may be decided. I'm the only person left in jail.
Justice Chandrachud- We'll continue his interim bail for 2 more weeks and allow him to approach the appropriate bench.

ASG KM Nataraj- Milords now in interim bail for another purpose his bail cannot be extended.

Justice Kant- This is on the humanitarian ground.
Justice Chandrachud- We'll give you liberty.

Order- The SLP under Article 136 arose from an order of single judge bench of the Lucknow bench of the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad. The HC has primarily dealt with the application for grant of bail.
Mr Rohatgi would be advised to move before the appropriate bench.
At this stage we are not entering any finding in regards to the regular bail. In regard to the ground in extending the interim bail. We extend the tenure of the interim bail by further period of 2 weeks.

The Madras High Court grants bail to a suspected Maoist on condition that she would file a sworn affidavit in Tamil owing faith and allegiance to the Indian Constitution and stating that she does not believe in Maoism.
#MadrasHighCourt
Court said that in cases where people wedded to a certain ideology are involved, they do everything possible to prevent the conduct of the trial and such things remain unknown to the media or the outside world.
#madrashighcourt
“On account of such dilatory tactics adopted by the accused, evidences disappear eventually leading to their acquittal. At that time, there will be a hue and cry saying that the system, without any material thereof, had kept the person in prolonged incarceration," court added.
