ProMASS News Bureau: Feb 19, 2016:
The Supreme Court today transferred the bail plea of JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar to the Delhi High Court and asked it to expeditiously deal with the matter. The top court, while declining to entertain the petition said, its direct intervention will be a dangerous proposition.
Supreme Court bench comprising justices J Chelameswar and A M Sapre while transferring the bail plea of Kanhaiya, who has been charged with sedition, took an assurance from Solicitor General Ranjit Kumar that in the “prevailing extraordinary situation” pertaining to this matter, the Centre and the Delhi Police Commissioner would provide adequate safety and security to the accused and a stream of lawyers who will be appearing in the High Court.
The bench which asked the High Court to expeditiously deal with the matter did not give any specific date for listing it. The Supreme Court permitted the counsel for Kanhaiya to amend his petition, which is to be filed in the Delhi High Court.
