Activist Arun Ferreira, one of the accused in the Elgar Parishad-maoist link case, has approached the Bombay High Court seeking a default bail on parity with co-accused Sudha Bharadwaj, who was granted relief in December 2021.
Mr. Ferreira's petition came up for hearing on Friday before a division bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Sharmila Deshmukh.
Justice Dere, however, recused from hearing the plea without assigning any reason. The petition will now be placed before another bench.
