Order reserve in court of interim bail granted of Kanhaiya Kumar

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi-The Delhi High Court today reserved its order on the plea by private individuals for cancellation of interim bail granted to JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar in a sedition case with Delhi Police facing its ire for not taking an unequivocal stand and leaving it to the judge to take a decision.

However, after it was pulled up by Justice P S Teji who made hard hitting remarks like “Why are you playing with the court” and “police has made a mockerey of the system,” Delhi Police said it was not in favour of cancellation of the student leader’s bail.

Realising that the judge, who also warned the police for “playing hide-and-seek with the court,” was not impressed with the arguments, the senior standing counsel for the Delhi Government, Rahul Mehra, said, “We (Delhi police) are not seeking cancellation of Kanhaiya’s bail”.
