SC Rejects NIA Plea Challenging Sudha Bharadwaj Bail Orders
The Supreme Court (SC) on December 7 rejected the National Investigation Agency's (NIA) petition challenging Sudha Bharadwaj's bail orders. Earlier on December 1, the Bombay HC granted default bail to the Elgar Parishad Bhima Koregaon case accused activist Bharadwaj. The NIA disagreed with this and challenged the HC's orders in the SC. Accused Bharadwaj is among 16 activists who have been granted default bail in the case.
