HC cancels Gayatri Prajapati's bail

May 26, 2017 21:26

The Allahabad High Court today cancelled the bail granted to former UP minister Gayatri Prajapati and two others in a case of alleged rape of a woman and molestation of a minor, saying the lower court had acted in haste.

The HC had earlier stayed the April 25 order of the Additional Sessions Judge granting bail to Samajwadi Party leader Prajapati and his associates Vikas Verma and Amrendra Singh alias Pintu.

Allowing the petition of the state government seeking cancellation of their bail, Justice AP Sahi today questioned the manner in which the ASJ handled the matter saying "the entire process was concluded as if the grant of bail had been preordained".
