The Nagpur Bench of Bombay High Court, on Wednesday granted bail to eight individuals accused in the Nagpur riots case, marking a crucial development in the ongoing legal proceedings. The bail was sanctioned after detailed arguments were heard on multiple applications submitted on behalf of the accused.
The accused were represented by a panel of advocates, including Adv. Asif Qureshi, Adv. Shirrang Bhandarkar, Adv. Rafique Akbani, Adv. Adil Mohammad, Adv. Naveed Opai, and Adv. Adil Sheikh. The defence team presented comprehensive legal arguments and supported their submissions with relevant facts and legal precedents, which were acknowledged and appreciated by the Hon’ble Court.
The order underscores the judiciary’s commitment to the fundamental legal principle of presumption of innocence until proven guilty, and ensures that the accused will now face trial while out on bail. Legal experts have welcomed the decision as a step towards ensuring transparency, fairness, and the right to a just defence in a case that has drawn significant public attention.
