135 people were killed in the Morbi bridge collapse tragedy in October 2022; only 1 among the 10 accused remains in judicial custody - contractor Devang Parmar of DevPrakash Solutions
Single-judge Justice Divyesh Joshi noted that the accused, who surrendered before the Police in January this year, was well aware about the 'poor condition' of the bridge yet allowed it to be opened for the public.
A bench comprising Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud and justices J B Pardiwala and Manoj Misra did not agree to the submissions of the lawyer, appearing for the Tragedy Victim Association, Morbi that the high court wrongly granted bail to the accused.
