The Bombay High Court issues a suo motu stay of bail granted to a Shiv Sena corporator, who was released in connection with an assault on doctors. According to reports, the court reviews the bail order and halts its effect while the matter is reconsidered. The High Court’s decision also takes into account the response following the bail, including announced plans by doctors across Maharashtra to protest the release. Deccan Chronicle reports that doctors in the state announce a strike on 22 July to protest the bail granted to the corporator and his associates. Times of India similarly reports that the court stays the bail in the case, indicating that the release is suspended pending further legal proceedings. The court’s actions mean the corporator remains subject to the conditions of the bail stay as the case proceeds, while authorities and the petition process continue around the alleged assault and the appropriateness of the bail order.
