New Delhi: A convict in the 2002 Godhra Riots on Tuesday moved the Supreme Court seeking bail on medical grounds.
Kishan Korani, the convict, filed the petition before the apex court seeking bail on medical grounds.
The court directed that an officer not below the rank of Assistant SP should file a status report on his health condition within one week via email, following which it would decide upon the matter.
Earlier in January, the Supreme Court granted bail to 15 life term convicts in a 2002 post-Godhra riots case pending their appeal against their conviction on the condition they stay outside Gujarat and do community service in Madhya Pradesh.
The 15 men were serving life term in connection with the massacre in Ode town in Anand district in which 23 Muslims were burnt alive.
