SC relief to Randeep Surjewala facing non-bailable warrant in 23-year-old case

The Supreme Court on November 9 gave reprieve to Congress leader Randeep Surjewala by staying the execution of a non-bailable warrant (NBW) issued against him by a Varanasi court in a 23-year-old case.

A Bench headed by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud urgently heard Mr. Surjewala’s petition, represented by senior advocate A.M. Singhvi, after it was orally mentioned in the court.

The apex court froze the non-bailable warrant for five weeks. The Bench gave Mr. Surjewala four weeks to file an application in the trial court to cancel the NBW.
