The Supreme Court on Monday (June 26) extended by four weeks the interim bail granted to former Mumbai Police officer Pradeep Sharma, who was arrested in connection with the Antilia bomb scare case and the killing of businessman Mansukh Hiran, in view of his wife's surgery.
A Vacation Bench of Justices A.S. Bopanna and Prashant Kumar Mishra extended the relief to Mr. Sharma granted earlier this month after senior advocate Siddharth Dave, appearing for him, said his wife could not be operated upon as the doctor concerned was abroad.
"The doctor was travelling throughout the month of June. Now, he is set to return to India in the first week of July after which the surgery will be conducted", Mr. Dave said, requesting the Bench to extend the interim bail granted to Mr. Sharma, a former encounter specialist of Mumbai Police.
