Irfan Solanki, his younger brother Rizwan and three others were sentenced to seven years of rigorous imprisonment on June 7 in connection with setting fire to a woman's house in an alleged bid to grab her land.
The Allahabad High Court on Thursday granted bail to former Samajwadi Party MLA Irfan Solanki but rejected his plea seeking a stay on conviction in a 2022 case of setting a house on fire in Kanpur.
A bench of Justices Rajiv Gupta and Surendra Singh also dismissed the appeal of the state government seeking enhancement of sentence.
Solanki had lost his membership in the state assembly after a special court in Kanpur on June 7, 2024, sentenced him and four others to seven years of rigorous imprisonment for setting a woman's house on fire in the Jajmau area.
