The Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court on Tuesday rejected the bail application of former Delhi University professor G N Saibaba, who is serving life sentence in a prison here for links with Maoists.

Saibaba, who is wheelchair-bound with over 90 per cent physical disability, had filed the bail application on medical grounds, saying his weak health along with comorbities make him vulnerable to contract the coronavirus infection in jail. The former university professor, convicted in March 2017 for links with Maoists, is currently lodged in the Nagpur Central Jail. -- PTI
