The Delhi High Court on Monday requested a response from the police regarding a bail plea linked to the Parliament security breach in December 2023.
Justices Vivek Chaudhary and Manoj Jain issued notice to the police concerning Lalit Jha's bail plea, scheduling a hearing for October 8. Jha contests a previous court order denying his bail, highlighting his lengthy 1.8-year custody.
Despite 133 witnesses listed in the chargesheet, no MPs were included. Jha argues the lack of harm and the trial court's failure to consider 'true facts and circumstances' in dismissing his plea. The case's complexities include allegations of participation in a high-profile security breach led by designated terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu.
