A single-judge bench of Allahabad High Court while hearing a Criminal Misc Bail Application filed by -Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MLA from Bansagaon, Gorakhpur Dr Vijay Kumar rejected his bail in the 2015 Shikhar murder case.
The FIR was registered in Delhi, but has, interestingly, been challenged before the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court which seems to have no jurisdiction to entertain it. The matter should be filed in Delhi as per jurisdiction.
The Supreme Court today refused to interfere in the matter regarding Rajasthan Legislative Assembly Speaker CP Joshi’s order merging six BSP MLAs with the ruling Congress party in September 2019, because the case is pending before the Rajasthan High Court.
The Supreme Court will hear tomorrow BJP leader Madan Dilawar’s challenge of Rajasthan High Court’s refusal to stay the Speaker’s decision to let 6 BSP MLAs merge with Congress.
