NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday granted bail to Indrani Mukerjea, prime accused in the murder of her daughter Sheena Bora, nearly six and a half years after she was taken into custody in the case, with the apex court allowing her plea on the ground of long incarceration.
Granting her bail, a bench of Justices L Nageswara Rao, B R Gavai and A S Bopanna said the trial is not going to be completed anytime soon as more than two-thirds of witnesses are yet to be examined.
The bench also took into account that her ex-husband and co-accused in the case, Peter Mukerjea, had already been granted bail in the case. The bench granted her bail with the same terms and conditions which were imposed on Peter when he was granted bail by the Bombay HC.
