Chennai, Sept 18: The Madras High Court today reserved orders on a bail plea by R R Gopal, Pota detenu and editor of Tamil bi-weekly "Nakheeran".
The orders were reserved by a division bench, comprising Justice P Shanmugham and Justice T V Masilamani, after hearing arguments from the prosecution and defence counsels.
Gopal was arrested on April 11 last and charged under IPC for sedition after an unlicensed revolver and a pamphlet of a banned organisation were allegedly recovered from his possession, while being questioned in connection with a missing person. Pota was invoked against him five days later.
In his bail application, Gopal alleged that the revolver and pamphlet were planted to trap him.
