Hearing has started in the Supreme Court on the bail application of Union Minister Ajay Mishra's son Ashish Mishra in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case.

His pictures in the wrestling ground: Mukul Rohatgi

Mukul Rohatgi, on behalf of Ashish Mishra, said that he has been in jail for a year.

Got bail once but was rejected by the Supreme Court.

The trial will take more than five years.

He should be given bail.

Rohatgi said that the trial court itself has said that the trial will last for 5 years.

There are 218 witnesses, 27 FSL reports and more cases.

Overall, the trial may take 7 to 8 years.

The accused was not on the spot, but was present at a wrestling ground where senior UP ministers were about to arrive.

There are pictures of him in the wrestling arena.

At that time the location of the mobile phone is also of the same.

He was not on the driving seat and another co-accused was seen coming out of the vehicle.

It is not a case of a well-planned conspiracy: Mukul Rohatgi

Rohatgi said that this matter is not of a well-planned conspiracy.

This matter happened due to the violence of the people.

The UP government opposed the bail of all the accused including Ashish Mishra.

The Supreme Court said that at present we are seeing that there are more than 200 witnesses.

What is the basis of opposing the bail of the UP government?

Law will take its course: Supreme Court

The Supreme Court said that the charge sheet has been filed in the case.

The law will take its course.

There are a total of 400 witnesses in both the cases.

Whether he is guilty or not is the subject of the trial.

The question is whether bail should be given at this time or not.

We are not treating him as an innocent person, but what are your apprehensions on being granted bail?

What is the basis for opposing bail?

Charge sheet has been filed.

The charge frame is done. 

Ashish Mishra should not be given bail: UP government

The UP government said that Ashish Mishra should not be given bail in this case.

Lakhimpur incident was very painful and it is a serious matter.

If Ashish Mishra gets bail, it will send a wrong message to the society.

On behalf of the victims, Dushyant Dave said that he cannot be granted bail.

If bail is granted then it will be unfortunate.

This is cold bladed murder.

It is a well thought out conspiracy.

The accused and his minister father intimidated the victims: Dushyant Dave

Dushyant Dave said that this is a very serious matter.

The accused and his minister father have threatened and intimidated the victims.

The Supreme Court said that the father of the accused is a minister, but not an accused in this case.

Advocate Dushyant Dave said that in the case of a heinous crime, the Supreme Court should not grant bail to the accused.

The Supreme Court said that should we remain mute spectators?

It is within our power to hear and decide the demand for bail under law.

Shouldn't we give bail even where complete injustice has been done?

The Supreme Court said that we are not saying that there should be bail in every case.

We are saying that bail can be given in appropriate cases.
