Former Haryana minister Gopal Kanda,an accused in the former air-hostess suicide case,today sought interim bail from a Delhi court contending that he would attend the state Assembly session and discharge his obligation towards his constituency.
Additional Sessions Judge M C Gupta reserved his order on Kandas plea after hearing arguments from his counsel and the prosecution.
Delhi Police also moved an application for reducing the period of interim bail granted to Kandas co-accused Aruna Chadha. Aruna was granted interim bail till November 11 on Monday for attending religious and family events.
Earlier,during the arguments,Kandas counsel senior advocate Ramesh Gupta said,He (Kanda) is an MLA from Haryana and he wants to attend the Assembly session for which he is seeking interim bail. He is an MLA from Sirsa,which is a big constituency. He has to perform many obligations for his people. Funds for his constituency are lying unused. The public is suffering.
Additional public prosecutor Rajiv Mohan opposed his plea saying,There is reasonable apprehension of his tampering with evidence. In February 2013,there was a session of Haryana Assembly. When Kanda did not feel the need to seek bail for attending it,why is he seeking interim bail for this session? There is apprehension of him tampering with the evidence.
