"Filed by a conman:" UP govt moves Supreme Court against Allahabad HC order holding fear of death due to COVID-19 ground for anticipatory bail
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the State government, said, "He’s a conman but just because of COVID-19 he has been granted anticipatory bail."
The Uttar Pradesh government has moved Supreme Court against a recent Allahabad High Court order which held that apprehension of death due to COVID-19 can be a ground for grant of anticipatory bail to an accused (State of UP v. Prateek Jain).
