The Supreme Court raised concerns over Surendra Gadling’s six-and-a-half-year custody without trial, directing a quick decision on pending applications. Gadling argued prolonged delays, missing electronic evidence, and unequal treatment as other accused are already on bail.

The Supreme Court granted bail to activist Shoma Sen, a prominent Dalit and women’s rights activist, in the Bhima Koregaon violence case. Sen had been arrested in 2018 and made multiple unsuccessful attempts to secure bail. The order was passed by a bench comprising Justices Aniruddha Bose and Augustine George Masih. Shoma Sen had approached both the Pune Sessions Court and the Bombay High Court for bail, but was directed to appeal to the special NIA court before seeking relief from the High Court. Finally, after appealing to the Supreme Court against the High Court’s decision, she was granted bail.
