Allahabad High Court Grants Relief to AAP MP Sanjay Singh in 23 Y-O Case
The Allahabad High Court on Thursday reserved its order on the bail plea of Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh in a case related to a street protest from 2001.
A single judge Justice K S Pawar reserved the decision after hearing the matter.
On Wednesday (August 21), the high court had ruled that Sanjay Singh need not surrender before the Sultanpur court until it issues an order on the bail plea.
The case dates back to June 19, 2001, when a demonstration was held near an overbridge close to the city’s Sabzi Mandi area under the leadership of former SP MLA Anoop Sanda, protesting against poor power supply. Sanjay Singh, along with former councillors Kamal Srivastava, Vijay Kumar, Santosh, and Subhash Chaudhary, participated in the protest.
A case was subsequently registered against all of them at the Kotwali Nagar Police Station. The six were convicted by Special Magistrate Yogesh Yadav on January 11, 2023, and sentenced to three months imprisonment.
On August 9, the six were ordered to appear before the MP/MLA court. When they failed to do so, Special Magistrate Shubham Verma issued non-bailable warrants against all of them.
