Bombay HC quashes NIA court’s order staying bail to accused in Antilia case
The Hindu
An error in exercise of jurisdiction by NIA judge, says High Court
The Bombay High Court on Wednesday quashed and set aside the order passed by a National Investigation Agency’s (NIA) court, and granted bail to a cricket bookie Naresh Gaur, an accused in the Antilia explosives case.
Mr. Gaur’s petition to the Bombay HC assails the order passed by the special NIA court on November 20, on a request made by the NIA. The special NIA court had passed an order staying the operation of its own order granting bail to Mr. Gaur for 25 days.

Senior CPI(M) leader A.K. Balan, who was removed from the party central committee at the 24th Party Congress in Madurai late last week in accordance with the age cap of 75 years for party positions, made a poignantly reflective Facebook post on Saturday, recalling his early years in the party and also stating, figuratively, that he is on the verge of yet another eviction – from the AKG Flat this time.
