Bengal asks Supreme Court to revoke bail for Cong’s Nandigram candidate
The state says the bail lets Pradhan contest from outside jail despite six criminal cases tied to the 2007 Nandigram agitation.
- West Bengal Police approached the Supreme Court on Wednesday challenging the interim bail granted to Congress candidate Milan Pradhan for the Nandigram bypoll.
- On Tuesday, the Calcutta High Court granted interim bail to Pradhan in six cases, enabling his release to campaign for the election scheduled for October 6.
- Justice Tirthankar Ghosh granted the bail to facilitate campaign activities, observing that Pradhan was taken into custody only after filing his nomination papers for the bypoll.
- Earlier, Justice Saugata Bhattacharyya directed authorities to allow Pradhan to contest provided he secured bail in five cases, while noting issues with his status in 11 other matters.
- With campaigning ending October 4 and the Nandigram bypoll on October 6, legal uncertainty regarding Pradhan's participation remains central as the election approaches.
