On March 20, Allahabad High Court postponed the hearing
The Allahabad High Court had postponed the hearing on his bail plea on March 20 and directed the trial court to complete the trial proceedings as soon as possible, then the bail plea would be considered again.
The High Court had taken a tough stand, citing 33 cases already registered against the accused. At the same time, the CBI was instructed that the testimony of the complainant Sanjay Kumar Yadav should be made on the same day and his cross -examination should also be completed so that there is no delay.
CBI opposed bail plea Additional Solicitor General Raja Thackeray opposed bail on behalf of CBI. He said that the accused is accused in 33 cases. On this, advocate Raja Chaudhary replied that 27 of these cases were registered after arrest and they have also got bail.
