Lakhimpur Kheri Case: SC Issues Notice to UP Govt Over Ashish Mishra's Plea

Mishra, whose car was part of the convoy that ran over eight people, in Lakhimpur, is the prime accused in the case.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday, 6 September, issued a notice to the Uttar Pradesh Government on a plea filed by Ashish Mishra, the son of Union Minister Ajay Mishra Teni, challenging the Allahabad High Court's decision which denied him bail in connection with the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case.

In July, the Lucknow bench of the high court had denied Mishra bail, saying that Mishra, if granted bail, might influence witnesses.
