"Don't Play Games": Supreme Court Warns Madhya Pradesh BSP MLA's Husband

Justice Shah said Govid Singh was given police security just because he was MLA's husband and police instead of arresting him were protecting him.

The Supreme Court Tuesday refused to entertain a bail plea of Madhya Pradesh BSP MLA's husband, who was arrested in over two-year-old murder case of Congress leader Devendra Chourasia, asking him not to play games with the court. A bench of Justices D Y Chandrachud and M R Shah allowed BSP MLA Rambai Singh's husband Govind Singh to withdraw his bail plea and said, "Supreme Court will not enlarge you on bail. You can seek remedy before an appropriate forum". When counsel for Singh sought liberty of the court that he be allowed to persuade the trial court for bail, the bench said, "We are not saying anything in the order or giving you any liberty. Don't play games with the Supreme Court". The bench told Singh that he has been booked for murder with 17 cases pending against him and even a lookout notice was issued against him after he tried to flee.
