The Delhi High court on Friday extended the interim
bail of 4 basement owners accused in RAU's IAS Study circle case of Old
Rajender Nagar.
Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma extended the interim
bail of Sarabjit Singh, Parvinder Singh, Tejinder Singh and Harvinder Singh
till January 21.
The Supreme Court has stayed the condition of depositing
Rs. 2.5 crores with the Red Cross.
The High Court had imposed this condition while
granting interim bail to the 4 accused persons on September 13.
The High Court has also stayed the condition of
depositing Rs. five crores with Red Cross Society while granting the bail to
Abhishek Gupta, the CEO of RAU's IAS Study Circle.
The High Court asked the Advocate Abhijit Anand,
counsel for complainant Dalvin Suresh, to file his reply on the applications.
The bench has listed the matters for hearing on
January 21, 2025.
The Rouse Avenue court on September 23, 2024,
granted interim bail to RAU's IAS Study Circle CEO Abhisek Gupta and
coordinator Deshpal Singh in the UPSC aspirant's death case.
The matter has been listed on December 7 before the
trial court.
Earlier, the Delhi High Court had granted interim
bail to four co-owners of a basement linked to the tragic deaths of three IAS
aspirants in Old Rajinder Nagar.
The bench of Justice DK Sharma had also requested
the Lieutenant Governor (LG) of Delhi to form a committee, which will operate
under the supervision of a retired High Court judge, to ensure that no coaching
centres are run in basements without sanction across Delhi.
Additionally, the court had directed the four
co-owners of the basement to deposit Rs 5 crore to the Red Cross Society.
Earlier, the Delhi High Court had asked the CBI to
submit a status report addressing the primary causes of waterlogging in the
area and the rainfall data from that day.
The trial court had denied bail to the four
co-owners and said that the liability of the co-owners stemmed from their
illegal act of allowing the basement to be used as a coaching institute.
