Farmers Tool Kit Case: Advocate Nikita Jacob Moves Delhi Court For Anticipatory Bail

Advocate Nikita Jacob has moved Delhi Sessions Court seeking anticipatory bail in the farmers protests-tool kit case.

The anticipatory bail application will be heard by Additional Sessions Judge, Dharmender Rana tomorrow.

Bombay High Court on on February 17 granted three Weeks transit anticipatory bail to Mumbai-based Advocate Nikita Jacob, who is faced with a non-bailable warrant issued by the Tis Hazari Court, in Delhi, in connection with the farmers' protest "tool kit" case.

A single bench of Justice PD Naik granted relief to Jacob after hearing her application. The bench observed that since the police officers has searched her house, seized her laptop and phone and recorded her statement, it means Jacob has made herself available for investigation.

Since Nikita Jacob will have to ultimately approach the Delhi Courts for bail after three weeks, the bench said that it was not commenting anything on the merits of the case.

According to the Delhi police, climate change activist Disha Ravi, along with Jacob and Beed engineer Shantanu Muluk, created the "toolkit" related to the farmers' agitation which was shared by activist Greta Thunberg.
