SC suspends Bombay HC order acquitting Saibaba, others in Maoist-links case; convicts to remain in jail
New Delhi, Oct 15 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Saturday suspended the Bombay High Court order acquitting former Delhi University (DU) professor G N Saibaba and others in a Maoist-links case, saying the merits of the case was not considered while granting them the relief.
The top court rejected Saibaba’s request to order his release from jail due to his disability and health conditions and put him under house arrest after the Maharashtra government opposed the prayer, saying nowadays, there is a new tendency of “urban Naxals” to seek house arrest.
It, however, allowed Saibaba to move a fresh bail application in the case.
