The Supreme Court on Monday refused to stay the acquittal last week of former Delhi University professor GN Saibaba, who was serving a life sentence, and five others - who were accused of Maoist links and charged under-terror law UAPA.
In October, the Bombay HC had acquitted the former Delhi University professor in a case of allegedly having links with Maoists. But the SC reversed the order.
Justice Lalit said that Justice Chandrachud, who had made oral remarks on October 14 against listing case on Saturday, never said anything about that when CJI Lalit asked him whether he would be part of Saturday bench.
