Patel quota agitation leader Hardik Patel on Friday filed fresh bail applications in courts in Ahmedabad and Surat where charge sheets in two sedition cases have been filed against him.

In Ahmedabad, he moved the court of additional sessions judge N G Dave. His lawyer Rafiq Lokhandwala contends in the application that the sedition case against his client is false, frivolous, fabricated and politically motivated and filed only to suppress the agitation of the Patel community.

The agitation for reservation cannot be said to be unlawful in any manner, the bail application says.

Hardik and five others are charged under Indian Penal Code Sections 124(A) (sedition), 121 (A) (conspiracy to wage war against the government) and 120 (b) (criminal conspiracy) in the case.
