Madhya Pradesh High Court rejects bail plea of PFI members imprisoned in Bhopal Central Jail

Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh) [India], April 26 : Madhya Pradesh High Court has rejected the bail application of members of banned outfit Popular Front of India (PFI) imprisoned in Bhopal Central Jail.

A single bench of Justice D K Paliwal rejected the bail application on Tuesday. A total of seven petitions were presented before the court in which six petitions were rejected and decision of one petition was reserved.

Deputy Advocate General Brahmdutt Singh said that a total of seven bail petitions were presented before the court in which there were six petitions carrying 19 applicants of banned outfit PFI and one petition was individual of a member of PFI.

During the hearing on Tuesday, the court rejected six petitions, including the individual petition presented before the court seeking bail. The court, however, reserved the decision of one petition whose decision is likely to be pronounced on Thursday, he added.

He further said that after hearing the matter, the Court found that the FIR registered against the accused persons under various sections of Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the UPAP Act which was for their involvement in anti-national activities.

In that case there was no right to give them bail or to give any kind of relief, so the court has cancelled six of their petitions and reserved the decision of one petition, he added.
