Clear Stan Swamy's "Name" In Elgar Parishad Case: Lawyer To High Court
NDTV
On July 5, when a bench of Justices SS Shinde and NJ Jamadar of the high court took up Stan Swamy's bail plea, it was informed that he had been declared dead a little while earlier.
Late tribal rights activist Stan Swamy's lawyer has written to the Bombay High Court urging it to "clear his name and reputation" in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case. Swamy, a Jesuit priest-turned-activist, died in hospital on July 5, 2021. Senior counsel Mihir Desai earlier this week wrote a note to the High Court on behalf of the Jamshedpur Jesuit Province (JJP) which is seeking to pursue Swamy's case as his family. It has taken objection to the lower court's observation while rejecting Stan Swamy's bail plea in March that there was prima facie evidence against him.More Related News
