NDTV
On February 22, 2021, the Bombay High Court had granted him bail on medical grounds and he was released from jail on March 6, 2021.
The Supreme Court on Monday said it would hear on Tuesday a plea filed by Telugu poet and an accused in the Bhima Koregaon-Elgar Parishad case, P Varavara Rao, challenging the Bombay High Court order rejecting his prayer for permanent medical bail in the matter.
A bench headed by Justice UU Lalit posted it for hearing on Tuesday after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta requested that he be allowed to place on record a compilation of documents and the matter be heard tomorrow.
"Allow me to place it on record and have it tomorrow. His interim protection is till tomorrow," Mr Mehta told the bench, also comprising Justices SR Bhat and Sudhanshu Dhulia.
Senior advocate Anand Grover, appearing for Mr Rao, said he has no objection to this.
