The Gauhati High Court recently quashed a lower court order directing the registration of an FIR against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma over his remarks on the Sipajhar eviction drive violence.
The Gauhati High Court on Thursday rejected the anticipatory bail application filed by Youth Congress President Srinivas BV and also refused to quash the First Information Report (FIR) lodged against him.
Observing that there is "no indication" in the case diary that the FIR is politically motivated and based on some false and concocted story, the Gauhati High Court dismissed Indian Youth Congress.
Justice Ajit Borthakur in his judgement said that the court is of the opinion that the case is not a fit one to grant the privilege of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner and as such it stood rejected.
