SC refuses to grant bail to Uttar Pradesh MLA Vijay Mishra

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to grant bail to Uttar Pradesh MLA Vijay Mishra and dismissed his petition seeking relief given the upcoming Uttar Pradesh assembly elections.

A Bench headed by Justice DY Chandrachud said that it is not a fit case for bail and dismissed Vijay Mishra's special leave petition. However, the Court clarified that the petitioner would be at liberty to revive his application of bail after the evidence of main witnesses are recorded in the trial.
