The Gujarat High Court on Saturday rejected the regular bail plea of social activist Teesta Setalvad and directed her to surrender immediately in a case pertaining to the alleged fabrication of evidence to frame innocent people in 2002 post-Godhra riots cases.
The Supreme Court has referred Mumbai-based activist Teesta Setalvad s bail plea to a larger bench of three judges. The two-judge bench comprising Justices AS Oka and PK Mishra observed that Setalvad should have been given more time by the Gujarat High Court before she was asked to surrender in connection with the 2002 Gujarat riots case.
