Oreva Group was responsible for the operation and maintenance of the British-era suspension bridge which snapped on October 30, 2022.
The Gujarat government on Wednesday opposed the regular bail plea of Jaysukh Patel, managing director of Oreva Group, in the case pertaining to last year's Morbi suspension bridge collapse that killed 135 persons, asserting that he is the main accused.
Oreva Group was responsible for the operation and maintenance of the British-era suspension bridge which snapped on October 30, 2022. The accident left 56 grievously injured.
Patel had moved a plea for regular bail before the court of principal district and sessions judge PC Joshi, nearly three weeks after the same court had rejected his interim bail plea.
After the conclusion of the hearing from the two sides, the court reserved its verdict for Friday, Public Prosecutor SK Vora said.
