The Supreme Court will on Monday hear the bail plea of former Gujarat minister Maya Kodnani, convicted in the 2002 Naroda Patiya riots case. 

A bench of justices H L Dattu and S A Bobde on February 13 asked her to file an affidavit stating the kind of burn injury she had suffered following which it will decide on her bail plea. 

The bench then posted the matter for hearing on Feb 17 and exempted her from surrendering till date as her bail expired on February 12. 

Kodnani had filed the petition challenging the February 8 order of the Gujarat High Court declining to extend her three months temporary bail granted on medical grounds on November 12 last year. 

She had sought extension of bail by 180 days. 

The trial court had in August 2012 awarded life imprisonment to Kodnani, Bajrang Dal leader Babu Bajrangi and 29 others for Naroda Patiya incident of 2002 riots in which 97 people were killed. 

The trial court had dubbed Kodnani, a sitting BJP MLA and former minister in Narendra Modi government, as "kingpin of riots" in Naroda area and sentenced her to 26 years imprisonment.
