Bhima Koregaon case | Supreme Court adjourns Varavara Rao’s plea for permanent bail to July 19

The Supreme Court on Tuesday, July 12, 2022, extended the interim protection allowed to 83-year-old activist-poet P. Varavara Rao in the Bhima Koregaon case and adjourned his plea for permanent bail on medical grounds to July 19.

A three-judge Bench led by Justice U.U. Lalit said Mr. Rao would continue to have the interim protection "till further orders".

The case was listed for Tuesday next week after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the National Investigating Agency, orally sought a later posting while submitting that the interim protection to Mr. Rao may be allowed to continue. Senior advocate Anand Grover agreed to Mr. Mehta's request for an adjournment.
