Hearing On Sanjiv Bhatt's Bail Plea Adjourned to Friday

In a setback to Gujarat Government, a local court today rejected its application opposing bail to arrested IPS officer Sanjiv Bhatt and began hearing his bail plea even as his remand application is pending in another court.

The sessions court judge V K Vyas adjourned the hearing on Bhatt's bail till October 7 after partly hearing arguments of Bhatt's lawyer I H Sayed.

Gujarat government had yesterday moved an application opposing the hearing of Bhatt's bail plea on the grounds that his revision remand application was pending.

Sessions Judge V K Vyas said he was of the opinion that Bhatt's bail application should be heard, even if the remand application was pending in another court.

Yesterday, the court had reserved its order on an application by the state government saying that Bhatt's bail plea cannot be heard as his revision remand application is pending.
