Former BSF Commandant Satish Kumar, arrested in the case, has also been granted bail. In such a situation, why is my client Mandal not being granted bail? After hearing the arguments of both the parties, the Supreme Court judge wanted to know about the current status of the investigation of the case, then the CBI informed that till now five chargesheets have been filed in the case. The trial has not started
, After this, the judge made it clear that Mandal’s bail would be considered only after charge formation in the case.
