NEW DELHI: On February 6, 2025, the Supreme Court of India postponed the hearing on the bail pleas of advocate Surendra Gadling and activist Jyoti Jagtap, who were arrested in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case. The bench, consisting of Justices M M Sundresh and Rajesh Bindal, also deferred the hearing on a petition filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) challenging the bail granted to activist Mahesh Raut by the Bombay High Court.
A court in Ajmer has acquitted six individuals accused of raising provocative slogans against BJP leader Nupur Sharma. The slogans were in response to derogatory comments made by Sharma about the Prophet. This led to Chishti’s arrest as the main accused in July 2022. Following his acquittal, Chishti expressed gratitude, stating, “Justice has been served in my case.”
The Supreme Court refused interim bail to Jyoti Jagtap, a jailed activist in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case. The court also postponed the hearing on her main bail plea. Jagtap’s involvement in provocative activities led to her arrest, and she faces charges under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. The case highlights ongoing complexities and delays in resolution.
