Mangaluru: The Supreme Court a special leave petition and ordered to issue notice to Naresh Shenoy on Monday, November 28.
Deceased Baliga’s family members had approached the Supreme Court against the judgment of the Karnataka High Court which granted bail to Naresh Shenoy. The High Court had garnted bail to Naresh Shenoy, prime accused in the murder of RTI activist Vinayaka Baliga.
High Court advocate N Ravindranath Kamath told the media that the matter was posted before judges Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose and Justice U U Lalit in the Supreme Court. “Former High Court judge H N Nag Mohandas argued the case on behalf of Ramachandra Baliga. The court went through all the records and issued notices to Naresh Shenoy and the state government. The court also directed us to serve ‘Dasti Notice’ (serving the notice in person by hand) to Naresh Shenoy. We are taking the Dasti Service and once it is served, the matter will come before the court anytime within next two weeks,” Kamath said.
It may be recalled, Naresh Shenoy was arrested after the High Court in April refused to grant him anticipatory bail. He was absconding since Baliga was hacked to death near his house at Kodialbail, in Mangaluru, on March 21. Shenoy was granted bail on September 15 by the High Court.
