The Supreme Court on Thursday underscored that activist Teesta Setalvad is behind bars even as the Gujarat government maintained that she is in custody as per the law and there is nothing “special” about her case while seeking an adjournment to fine-tune its reply to her plea for bail.
“There is nothing special but the petitioner has been in custody,” Justice U.U. Lalit observed, initially asking the State to file its reply later in the morning so that the court could take up the case at 2 p.m.
