The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to grant an early hearing to a petition seeking reopening of Baba Baidyanath Dham Jyotirlinga temple and Baba Basukinath in Jharkhand.
A bench of Justices Indira Banerjee and M.R. Shah heard the plea by Bholu through his Senior Counsel Manan Kumar Mishra, who submitted that his client is a 16-year-old boy and has been languishing in jail for the last three-and-a-half years just because of a media trial.
