SC grants four weeks to Assam govt to file affidavit

The Supreme Court on Monday granted four weeks to the State of Assam to file its affidavit on the plea of Indian Youth Congress president Srinivas BV, challenging the Gauhati High Court order rejecting his anticipatory bail plea in an alleged harassment case filed against him.
A bench of Justices BR Gavai and JB Pardiwala adjourned the hearing for six weeks after the counsel of the Assam government sought time to file an affidavit. Earlier, the apex court had granted anticipatory bail to Srinivas in an FIR registered against him by an expelled woman party member for allegedly causing her mental agony.
Srinivas challenged the Gauhati High Court order rejecting his anticipatory bail plea. On May 5, the Gauhati High Court rejected the anticipatory bail plea of Srinivas in a case lodged by a former colleague and the ex-president of the Assam Youth Congress, accusing him of causing her mental agony. The High Court had also refused to quash the FIR.
