Supreme Court to Hear NIA’s Plea Challenging Sudha Bharadwaj’s Bail Today

The National Investigation Agency had sought urgent listing of its plea challenging the activist's bail.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday, 6 December, sought urgent listing of its plea before the Supreme Court wherein it has challenged activist Sudha Bhardwaj's bail. The Bhima Koregaon case-accused was granted bail by the Bombay High Court last week.

A bench comprising Justices UU Lalit, S Ravindra Bhat, and Bela Trivedi are scheduled to hear the NIA's appeal on Tuesday, 7 December.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for NIA, on Monday had urged the urgent listing of the matter. “Order will come into effect on 8 December, so I have to succeed or lose tomorrow,” he was quoted as saying in the apex court by news agency ANI.
