The Supreme Court granted bail to a murder convict after calling the Orissa High Court’s refusal to hear his delayed appeal a “disturbing order.” The bench stressed that the High Court should have taken a practical approach there.
The Bombay High Court dismissed a criminal case against Raj Thackeray related to a 2008 stone-pelting incident on a State transport bus. The court found no evidence to prove Thackeray incited violence, ruling that he was not present during the attack, and concluded that the case lacked substantial evidence for trial.
