The Supreme Court on Wednesday confronted the Uttar Pradesh Government, saying the retired judge appointed by the court to monitor the Lakhimpur Kheri case investigation had himself urged the State to appeal against the bail granted to prime accused Ashish Mishra, a Union Minister’s son.
The State had, however, not appealed the Allahabad High Court’s bail order in the apex court.
Instead, the families of the farmers mowed down in Lakhimpur Kheri had to move the top court for cancellation of the bail.
