Court reserves order in Anto Augustine’s anticipatory bail plea
India's court has reserved its decision on Anto Augustine's anticipatory bail application. Augustine sought the bail after the Special Investigation Team, probing the Messi controversy, conducted searches at sites associated with him and his brothers. The pending order follows concerns that he might be arrested soon, prompting his pre‑emptive legal move. The hearing was adjourned pending further evidence and arguments from the prosecution.
