JNU: SC denies to hear Kanhaiya Kumar's bail plea
New Delhi, Feb 19 (IBNS) The Supreme Court, where arrested Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student leader Kanhaiya Kumar a day ago filed a bail plea fearing for his life as violent protests by lawyers marked his production in a lower court, on Friday refused to hear the petition and asked him to file for the same in an appropriate court (read high court).
Kumar moved the apex court for bail on Thursday but the apex court said it cannot hear his plea at this stage. It also, however, said that it cannot ask him to ask for bail in the Patiala House Court in New Delhi where there were attempts to assault him by a section of lawyers who also beat up journalists.
Patiala House Courts Complex is one of the six District Courts complexes in the state of Delhi.[
The Delhi court on Wednesday sent Kumar to judicial custody till Mar 2.
He was arrested on sedition charges.
The Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is currently facing protests and counter protests with the police cracking down on students over the anti-India slogans raised earlier to mark the death anniversary of Parliament Attack convict Afzal Guru on its campus in the national capital.
