The Supreme Court of India today rejected a plea to cancel bail for Mohan Nayak N, an accused in the Gauri Lankesh murder case. The bench upheld the High Court’s decision, emphasizing the need for expedited proceedings and stating that bail cancellation could be pursued if conditions were violated. The accused had been in custody since July 18, 2018.
The Karnataka High Court has granted bail to three individuals accused in the 2017 murder of activist-journalist Gauri Lankesh. Justice S Vishwajith Shetty approved the bail for Amit Digvekar, KT Naveen Kumar, and HL Suresh, following the reservation of orders on their bail applications on July 2. The decision aligned with the precedent of granting bail due to trial delays.
