India Today
The Supreme Court will deliver its order on April 18 on the plea seeking cancellation of bail granted to Ashish Misra in connection with the Lakhimpur Kheri case.
The Supreme Court will pronounce its verdict on April 18 on the plea seeking cancellation of bail granted to Union Minister Ajay Misra’s son, Ashish Misra, in connection with the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case that claimed the lives of eight people, including four farmers.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court had reserved its order on a plea by some of the relatives of the victims of the Lakhimpur Kheri violence seeking cancellation of the bail granted to prime accused Ashish Misra.
Ashish Misra was arrested on October 9 last year in connection with the violence that erupted in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri on October 3. Eight people, including four farmers, were killed in Lakhimpur Kheri in clashes during a farmers' protest.

In February this year, Ashish Misra was released from jail after he was granted bail by the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court. Ashish Misra's lawyers submitted two bail bonds of Rs 3 lakh each in regards to his bail orders on February 14.
Following this, some of the relatives of the victims of the Lakhimpur Kheri violence filed a plea before the SC, seeking cancellation of Ashish Msira’s bail.
The bench of Chief Justice NV Ramana, Justice Surya Kant, and Justice Hima Kohli heard the plea.
