The Bombay High Court has granted bail to Akashdeep Karaj Singh, making him the first accused to be released in the Baba Siddique murder case.
The court clarified that the bail order will not affect other accused, while the investigation into the high-profile killing continues.
The Allahabad High Court Bar Association has urged bar bodies across India to oppose the proposal to make High Courts function on two Saturdays every month. It warned that extra court days would increase stress on lawyers, judges and staff, and may harm the quality of justice instead of reducing case pendency.
