Prajapati encounter: HC rejects bail plea of top cop
Press Trust of India : Ahmedabad, Sat Apr 14 2012, 05:49 hrs
The Gujarat High Court on Friday again rejected the bail application
of suspended IPS officer Vipul Agarwal, the prime accused in 2006
Tulsi Prajapati fake encounter case being probed by the CBI. Agarwal's
bail plea was rejected last month by the High Court. He filed a fresh
one today on the grounds that the delay in the trial could cause
prejudice to him, violating the constitutional right to speedy trial.
Justice A S Dave was reluctant to hear the bail petition as it had
already been rejected on merit by another judge. The court rejected
the plea, saying that it could not entertain it again on the ground
cited by the petitioner.
