Madan Mitra bail: Hearing postponed till tomorrow
After 324 days of captivity in connection with the multi-crore Saradha chit fund scam, Madan Mitra was granted conditional bail from Alipore Court on Oct 31.
Challenging the judgement of the lower court, the CBI moved to the Calcutta High Court on Nov 3, to get revoked Madan Mitra's bail.
A division bench comprising Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice Mir Dara Sheko on Nov 5 put Madan Mitra under house arrest until the next hearing, which was scheduled on Tuesday.
Madan Mitra's lawyers could not file affidavit before the apex court of the state, a division bench led by Justice Nishita Mhatre has adjourned the hearing till Wednesday.
However, Madan Mitra's house arrest term has been extended by one day.
After a marathon questioning session, the CBI arrested Madan Mitra on Dec 12 last year for his alleged involvement in multi-crore Saradha financial scam.
