After the Delhi high court refused to hear the regular bail plea of JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar and two other JNU students in the ongoing sedition case against them, they approa-ched a Delhi court seeking regular bail in the case.
Besides Kanhaiya, Umar Khalid and Anirban Bhattacharya, who were also out on interim bail, moved the trial court for regular bail. Their pleas would come up for hearing on Saturday.
The Delhi high court on August 17 had refused Kanhaiya’s application for regular bail and asked him to approach a sessions court for the purpose.
He was granted interim bail by the high court on March 2 for six months which is scheduled to expire on September 1.
While granting interim bail to Khalid and Bhatta-charya on March 18, the trial court had observed that the role attributed to Kanhaiya does not appear to be different from the allegations levelled against the two accused.
The court had granted the relief to the duo on furnishing of a personal bond in the sum of Rs 25,000 with one surety of the like amount, which was complied with by them, following which they were ordered to be released till September 19.
It had also directed Umar and Anirban not to leave Delhi without permission during the period of interim bail and make themselves available before the investigating officer as and when required.
