Court Denies Gautam Navlakha's Plea to Reside in Delhi

A special NIA court has denied activist Gautam Navlakha's plea to live in Delhi, underscoring the jurisdictional limits of the legal process.

Navlakha, implicated in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist case, argued financial and familial necessity for the relocation from Mumbai, where he currently resides on bail granted by the Supreme Court.

The refusal follows the court's adherence to bail conditions set by the Bombay High Court that require Navlakha to remain within Mumbai's limits unless explicitly allowed to leave by the court.
