BHUBANESWAR: (26th Jan 2011) The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected the bail plea of BJP MLA from G Udayagiri Manoj Pradhan in a murder case. A division bench of the Supreme Court, comprising Justices B Sudershan Reddy and S S Nijhar, set aside the Orissa High Court order.
The case relates to the killing of the husband of one Kanak Rekha Nayak. The man was allegedly beaten to death in Kandhamal district. The MLA and others were implicated in the case. A local fast track court had awarded seven years imprisonment to the MLA against which he had moved the high court that had given him bail.
Kanak Rekha had moved the apex court with a special leave petition. The government was made a party in the case. The state government's standing counsel Suresh Tripathy, considering the gravity of the case, supported the cancellation of the bail. He argued that being an MLA could not be the ground for bail.
