The Supreme Court on Monday granted two weeks time to the State of Uttar Pradesh to file a counter-affidavit to the petition filed by Ashish Mishra, the son of Union Minister Ajay Kumar Mishra, seeking regular bail in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case.
A bench comprising Justices BR Gavai and BV Nagarathna was considering the petition filed by Mishra challenging the July 26 order of the Allahabad High Court which dismissed his regular bail application.
Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi appeared for Mishra in the brief hearing held on Monday. He pointed out that the state is yet to file its counter. Senior Advocate Dushyant Dave, appearing for the victims, submitted that there are indications which show that the crime was "premeditated".
The Court had issued notice to the State of Uttar Pradesh on September 26.
The Supreme Court in November 2021 appointed Justice Rakesh Kumar Jain, former judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, to monitor the investigation in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence.
The UP Police arrested Mishra following the critical remarks by the Supreme Court.
