The advocate for the accused claimed that his clients were not given any notice under section 41 of the CrPC. He said that as the voice recording of the accused had been sent to the forensic lab there was no real evidence against them. Hence he requested the court for a bail. The court ordered the accused to be released on conditional bail after listening to the arguments on both sides.
A case was registered in the Vidhana Soudha police station on February 27 accusing the three of chanting ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans during the victory celebrations of the Congress candidate Naseer Hussain in RS polls. The police had taken the accused into custody once an FIR was registered.
