No anticipatory bail for Jain Housing & Construction's promoter
About a month after granting interim anticipatory bail to Sandeep Mehta of Jain Housing and Construction, a key suspect in the Maradu illegal beach-side apartment case registered by Kerala police, Madras high court cancelled the anticipatory bail on Tuesday. The ‘inter-state’ anticipatory bail filed by Sandeep Mehta and the interim relief granted by the high court came to public notice after an additional director-general of police (ADGP) of Kerala crime branch police wrote to advocate-general of Tamil Nadu seeking help to get the order vacated. The interim relief had been given to Mehta for a period of one month. On Tuesday, when the issue came up before Justice C V Kartikeyan for further hearing, Tamil Nadu government submitted that the accused Mehta had an office and establishment in Kerala as well as in several states. But, he cannot pick and choose a court to move his ‘inter-state’ anticipatory bail.
