Supreme Court directs Ashish Mishra to respond to allegations of threatening witnesses in Lakhimpur Kheri violence case.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday (November 27, 2024) directed former Union Minister Ajay Mishra’s son Ashish Mishra to respond to allegation that witnesses were being threatened in the 2021 Lakhimpur Kheri violence case that claimed eight lives.
A Bench of Justices Surya Kant and Ujjal Bhuyan asked senior advocate Siddharth Dave, appearing for Mr. Ashish Mishra, to file an affidavit clarifying his stand after he refuted the allegations.
At the outset, a counsel appearing for one of the complainants in the case told the court that he has filed a plea in which he has said that witnesses were threatened by Mr. Ashish Mishra.
Mr. Dave denied the allegations and said this is an “endless process”.
“It’s not me in the photographs. This is not for this court, this is for outside,” Mr. Dave said.
The Supreme Court then asked Mr. Ashish Mishra to file an affidavit denying the allegations within four weeks.
On July 22, the Supreme Court had granted bail to Mr. Ashish Mishra and restricted his movement to Delhi or Lucknow.
