The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued notice to the National Investigation Authority (NIA) on a plea filed by activist and poet Dr P Varavara Rao, an accused in the 2018 Bhima Koregaon violence case, seeking bail on medical grounds.
A bench of Justices UU Lalit, S Ravindra Bhat and Sudhanshu Dhulia said that its order of extending the interim bail granted on medical grounds Rao will continue. The apex court posted the matter for final hearing now on 10 August.
“Interim protection granted earlier on medical grounds extended till further orders,” said the bench in its order. Earlier, the top court had extended Rao’s interim bail till further orders. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta appeared for NIA while senior advocate Anand Grover represented Rao.
Rao has challenged a 13 April judgment of the Bombay High Court which had rejected his plea for permanent bail. The High Court, however, had extended the time for Rao to surrender before the Taloja prison authorities by three months, to enable him to undergo cataract surgery.
