SC extends interim bail of Vikas Yadav for 4 weeks
The Supreme Court has extended by four weeks the interim bail to Vikas Yadav, who is serving a 25-year-long jail term in the 2002 Nitish Katara murder case, to take care of his ailing mother.
A bench of Justices MM Sundresh and K Vinod Chandran extended the interim bail by four more weeks to enable Yadav to attend to his ailing mother, who had undergone surgery.
The bench also made it clear that no further indulgence for an extension will be given on medical grounds.
In its order, the bench stated, “Though arguments have been made by both sides with respect to the physical condition of the petitioner’s mother, we are inclined to extend the period of interim bail by four more weeks. It is made clear that no further indulgence for an extension will be given on medical grounds.”
Earlier, that bench had also extended his interim bail. Yadav’s counsel, seeking extension, told the bench that since the surgery was performed on May 25, his mother required post-operative care.
On April 24, the apex court had granted interim bail to Yadav and said he shall reside only at his residence in Ghaziabad. His bail was later extended for four weeks.
Granting interim bail to Yadav, the top court had said he shall not make any contact with the witness who deposed against him and Neelam Katara, the mother of Nitish Katara.
