The Supreme Court orally remarked that it may have reservations over its earlier decision to allow the house arrest, albeit with conditions, of activist Gautam Navlakha in connection with the Bhima Koregaon violence case
The case reflects two deeper problems that the courts may consider while granting bail: the preference for a local surety; and the infatuation of criminal justice with money and property.
The 70-year-old was named as an accused in the Elgar Parishad case by the National Investigation Agency, which has also arrested several activists, scholars and lawyers in connection with it.
Navlakha, 70, walked out prison around 6 pm on Saturday. A police team took him to a building in Belapur-Agroli area of Navi Mumbai where he would be staying.
The top court asked the National Investigation Agency to inform it about the kind of restrictions that should be enforced while the activist is under house arrest.
The Supreme Court today allowed jailed activist Gautam Navlakha's request for house arrest, saying prima facie there is no reason to reject his medical report.
