Non-bailable warrant against Congress leader Hardik Patel in sedition case

India Blooms News Service | @indiablooms | 07 Feb 2020, 12:29 pm

Ahmedabad/UNI: A local court here on Friday issued a fresh non-bailable warrant against former convener of Patidar quota agitation outfit Patidar Anamat Aandolan Samiti (PAAS) and Congress leader Hardik Patel.

Recently, there was another non-bailable warrant (NBW) against him by the same court for similar reasons in a sensational sedition case last month and he was arrested and kept under judicial custody in jail too.

The court of Additional District Judge B J Ganatra issued the warrant today when he failed to appear before it in the case today.

The court rejected his exemption petition observing that Hardik was willfully disobeying the court instructions and putting forth unacceptable grounds for giving him exemption from personal appearance.

The other two accused in the case, Dinesh Bambhaniya and Chirag Patel appeared in the court but Hardik did not.

The government counsel Sudhir Brahambhatt opposed the plea of Hardik's advocate for exemption from personal appearance.

He had on the last date of hearing on February 1 requested the court to issue NBW which the court today accepted. The court has fixed February 15 as the next date of hearing. Hardik could be arrested again to be produced before the court.
