Allahabad High Court grants bail to former Samajwadi Party MLA Irfan Solanki, rejects plea for stay on conviction.
The Allahabad High Court on Thursday (November 14, 2024) granted bail to former MLA of the Samajwadi Party Irfan Solanki but rejected his plea seeking stay on conviction in a case of setting a woman's house on fire.
A bench of Justices Rajiv Gupta and Surendra Singh also dismissed the appeal of the State government seeking enhancement of sentence.
A special court in Kanpur had on June 7, 2024 sentenced Solanki and four others for setting a woman's house on fire in Jajmau area.

In a surprising turn of events, Urvashi theatre, one of Bengaluru’s iconic single screens, has re-opened, with the much-talked-about Dhurandhar: The Revenge running to a full house in the theatre. After the expiry of the 45-year lease, it seemed like curtains would come down on the king-size theatre but for now, it’s good news for fans.
