Supreme Court today rejected a plea for interim stay on Patna High Court order granting bail to controversial RJD leader Shahabuddin in a case pertaining to the killing of a youth in Siwan town of Bihar. The court issued notice to Shahabuddin saying it wants to hear him too.
During the hearing, Bihar government sought issuance of Non Bailable Warrant against him. The State government moved the Supreme Court seeking cancellation of Shahabuddin’s bail saying it was not properly heard by Patna High Court while granting him the bail. The Supreme Court has fixed the case for further hearing on September 26.
