Elgar Parishad case | Supreme Court adjourns hearing on activist Jyoti Jagtap's plea against Bombay High Court order declining her bail

The Supreme Court on September 21 adjourned for four weeks a plea moved by activist Jyoti Jagtap, arrested in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case, challenging a Bombay High Court order denying her bail.

Jagtap has moved the apex court challenging the October 17, 2022 order of the high court that refused to grant her bail, saying the National Investigation Agency's (NIA) case against her was "prima facie true" and that she was part of a "larger conspiracy" hatched by the banned CPI (Maoist) outfit.

A Bench of Justices Aniruddha Bose and Bela M. Trivedi deferred the matter after advocate Aparna Bhat, appearing in the court on behalf of Jagtap, sought time to file a rejoinder to an NIA affidavit. The top court granted three weeks to Jagtap to file her rejoinder.
