In response to a plea filed in the Bombay High Court by all those accused in the Bhima Koregaon case, the Additional Solicitor General (ASG) insisted that an order passed by a Sessions Court judge order was valid. Those accused in the case had stated that the judge who denied them default bail was not authorised to do so. ASG Anil Singh appeared before a Division Bench of Justices S.S. Shinde and N.J. Jamadar in a petition that states the Pune Sessions Court judge K.D. Wadane was not authorised to take cognisance of the supplementary chargesheet and to grant an extension to the Pune police for filing the chargesheet. Mr. Singh, representing the National Investigation Agency (NIA) probing the case, said the two orders passed by the Sessions Court granting an extension to file the chargesheet and to take cognisance of the same are valid orders.
