Let law take its own course: HC declines Navneet Kalra's plea for speedy decision on bail by trial court

The Delhi HC refused to direct a speedy decision on the bail plea of businessman Navneet Kalra, arrested in connection with alleged black marketing of oxygen concentrators. The HC also declined to interfere with the observations made by a sessions court while dismissing Kalra's anticipatory bail plea.

The Delhi High Court on Tuesday declined to direct an expeditious decision on the bail plea of businessman Navneet Kalra, arrested in connection with alleged black marketing of oxygen concentrators, saying "let the law take its own course". Justice Subramonium Prasad also declined to interfere with the observations made by a sessions court while dismissing Kalra's anticipatory bail plea, saying the Supreme Court has already laid down the law with regard to observations made by courts and their reporting by media organisations. The high court declined to grant the reliefs sought on behalf of Kalra, represented by senior advocate Vikas Pahwa, saying that he had moved an anticipatory bail plea which has become infructuous due to his arrest and therefore, nothing remains in the matter.
