Court Orders Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani Not To Leave State Without Permission

The session court's order was in connection with a case dating back to 2017.

A sessions court in Gujarat's Mehsana ordered Vadgam MLA Jignesh Mevani and 10 other accused to not leave the state without permission in connection with a case dating back to 2017, in which Mevani had organised a march without the police's permission, a press release stated on Friday, 3 June.

On 5 May, a court had ordered the imprisonment of Mevani and other accused for a period of three months with regard to the case. To avoid imprisonment, the judgment of the lower court had to be challenged within one month from the date of the judgment, the press release added.

As the accused approached the session court for bail earlier in the day, the judge granted bail, but with the condition that Mevani could not leave Gujarat and had to submit his passport to the court.
