New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday reserved its order on the bail plea of Vishal Yadav, serving
life sentence for killing Nitish Katara, to attend his
sister`s marriage scheduled on January 25.
A Division Bench of Justices Anil Kumar and Mool Chand
Garg reserved the order after hearing arguments of the counsel
of the accused, as well as lawyers of Delhi and UP police.
Opposing the bail plea, Delhi police counsel said the
accused has several other family members who can very well
manage the marriage function and the presence of Vishal was
not required.
However, the UP police, said in its status report that it
has no objection if he would be granted bail but the accused
should be allowed to attend the ceremony in the presence of
police.
Meanwhile, in an application Neelam Katara, the mother
of the deceased, told the bench that Vishal`s argument seeking
bail to manage the financial aspect of the marriage should be
rejected as his mother has sold a property worth Rs 30 lakhs
recently and his presence was not required.
In the bail plea, Vishal said that his father is no more
and being eldest son in the family he has to perform the
rituals of his younger sister`s marriage and also to handle
the financial aspect.
