Just in: Hearing on Kanhaiya Kumar 's bail plea in Supreme Court begins for the day. Delhi Police has not sought extension of police remand for the JNUSU leader, says his lawyer. Kanhaiya Kumar has moved the Supreme Court for bail and release from custody under Article 32 of the Constitution. Article 32 is an extraordinary judicial relief sought from the highest court when a citizen seeks protection of his fundamental rights, including his life and personal liberty.

Kanhaiya is represented by senior advocates Soli Sorabjee and Raju Ramachandran and advocate Vrinda Grover.

He was supposed to move the magistrate court for bail on February 17, but was thwarted by the mob.

He has been remanded in judicial custody for 14 days, ending March 2. 

Kanhaiya has argued that there has been an exceptional and unprecedented breakdown of the justice delivery mechanism and administration of justice even after the writ of the Supreme Court.


The petition said the failure of the Delhi Police to provide security on February 15 and 17 was in violation of the fundamental rights of the student, his lawyers and journalists.
