The Supreme Court Monday cancelled bail granted to Ashish Mishra, son of Union Minister and BJP leader Ajay Mishra Teni, in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case. The court has directed him to surrender within a week.
On 10 February, 2022, Ashish Mishra was granted bail by the Allahabad High Court. The verdict was challenged by the families of farmers who were killed on 3 October, 2021 at Lakhimpur Kheri in Uttar Pradesh.
Supreme Court verdict on Lakhimpur Kheri accused Ashish Mishra
A bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) N V Ramana on Monday remanded the matter back to the High Court for fresh consideration.
“The denial of victims to be heard and the tearing hurry shown by the High Court merits the setting aside of bail order. Thus, we remand the matter back to High Court for fresh consideration of the bail application of accused,” the Supreme Court said.
The bench observed that a victim of a crime has the “unbridled participatory right” in criminal trial process.
The top court has also said that the Allahabad High Court did not consider judicial precedents while granting bail to Mishra.
“FIR cannot be treated as an encyclopedia of events. Judicial precedents were ignored,” the court said in its order.
