Setback for JD-U MLC Manorama Devi as court defers hearing on bail plea

May 16, 2016 09:40

In a big setback for suspended Janata Dal United legislator Manorama Devi, a local court in Gaya on Monday deferred the hearing on her anticipatory bail plea.

As per reports, the Gaya court also asked for case diary and record of the lower court in this regard.

"The hearing took place today. The judge has asked for the case diary. Her name is not there in the FIR. We have not got any next date. We said that she has been falsely trapped," Devi's lawyer Kaisar Sarfuddin was quoted as saying by ANI.

Devi had filed an anticipatory bail in the court on May 13 after an arrest warrant was issued against her over liquor prohibition.

The Gaya Police had last week sealed the house of the suspended JD-U legislator, who is said to be on the run after an arrest warrant was issued against her under the new state excise law.
