| Supreme Court rejects Pappu Yadav's bail plea | | |
New Delhi, Nov 16
Taking note of his past conduct and serious nature of the offence alleged, the Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed the bail plea of controversial RJD MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav, who is facing trial in the 1998 Ajit Sarkar murder case. Sarkar was a CPI-M MLA in Bihar.
Dismissing his appeal against the April 27, 2006 order of the Patna High Court, which had rejected his bail application, a Bench of Justice SB Sinha and Justice Markandey Katju ordered that no court would further entertain his bail applications in this case.
"We make it clear that no further application for bail will be considered in this case by any court, as already a large number of bail applications have been rejected earlier, both by the High Court and this court," the Bench said.
Without setting a deadline for conclusion of the trial, the Bench directed the trial court to ensure that defence witnesses were examined on a day-to-day basis in accordance with a fixed time schedule so that the trial was concluded as expeditiously as possible and the judgment is delivered soon thereafter.
The CBI witnesses had already been examined.
