The Supreme Court on Wednesday deferred to September 17 the bail plea of advocate Surendra Gadling, accused in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case.
A bench comprising Justices J K Maheshwari and K Vinod Chandran deferred the matter after Additional Solicitor General S V Raju sought time.
Senior advocate Anand Grover, appearing for Gadling, opposed Raju’s request for an adjournment highlighting the plea’s pendency since 2023.
Grover said Gadling has spent over six years behind bars, with charges not even been framed in the case.
Chief Justice B R Gavai had posted the matter for today after being informed on August 26 that Justice M M Sundresh had recused from hearing the bail plea.
Previously, a bench comprising Justices Sundresh and N Kotiswar Singh was scheduled to hear the plea.
On August 8, Grover mentioned the matter before CJI Gavai for an early hearing, citing his client Gadling’s over six-year-long incarceration.
“The bail plea has been adjourned 11 times in the Supreme
