Gets bail in 1 case, yet behind bars
- Mazdoor Adhikar Sangathan activist Nodeep Kaur was granted bail on Friday in connection with an extortion case registered at Kundli on December 28
- She would still have to stay in jail as her bail plea in another case registered on January 12 was rejected by the sessions court
- Her bail plea in yet another case would be taken up on Saturday
The notice by Justice Arun Kumar Tyagi came on a suo motu case against the state.
It was accepted by Additional Advocate General Ranvir Singh Arya before seeking time to file reply or status report.
In his detailed order, Justice Tyagi asserted that the matter was treated as criminal writ petition and ordered to be listed on the judicial side under Justice Jaswant Singh’s orders after complaints dated February 6 and 8 were received through email regarding her illegal confinement.
Justice Tyagi noted that the complainants did not mention their addresses and other relevant particulars in the complaints. Fixing February 24 as the next date of hearing, Justice Tyagi directed the matter to be shown on the “urgent list”.
