Malegaon blasts case : SC reserves order on bail plea of Col Shrikant Pruohit
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) opposed his bail.
Purohit moved the apex court after the Bombay High Court had rejected his bail plea.
The High Court had granted relief to another accused in the case, Sadhvi Pragya Singh.
Both Purohit and Pragya were arrested in 2008 on charges of plotting the explosions carried out by radical Hindutva group Abhinav Bharat.
Senior lawyer Harish Salve, who was arguing for the accused, pleaded in the Supreme Court that "for the interest of justice” Purohit should be given interim bail.
