Supreme Court to hear West Bengal plea against bail to Nandigram Congress candidate on October 5
India’s Supreme Court has scheduled a hearing for West Bengal’s challenge to the bail granted to a Congress candidate from Nandigram on October 5. The state’s solicitor general, Tushar Mehta, argued that a hearing on that date would render the petition ineffective, as the election in the constituency is set for October 6. The court’s decision could impact the upcoming poll timetable.
