The Supreme Court on May 11 directed the Uttar Pradesh Government to file a reply to the plea filed by Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan over the delay in hearing his bail application in a land-grabbing case.
A bench comprising justices L Nageswara Rao, BR Gavai and AS Bopanna asked the State Government to file its reply in the case and said it would hear it on Tuesday.
"What is this? Why not let Mr. Khan go. He has been in jail for two years. One or two cases are okay but it cannot be in 89 cases. Whenever Mr. Khan gets bail, he is again sent to jail for some other matter. You file a reply. We will hear on Tuesday,” the bench said.
