Bombay HC rejects anticipatory bail plea of Nitesh Rane in attempt-to-murder case

The Bombay High Court on Monday refused anticipatory bail to BJP’s Maharashtra MLA Nitesh Rane who was seeking an anticipatory bail in an alleged attempt to murder case.

A single Bench of justice C.V. Bhadang said the Maharashtra government's earlier assurance of not taking coercive action against Mr. Nitesh Rane, son of Union Minister Narayan Rane, was extended till January 27 as a last chance.

Justice Bhadang refused to grant relief to Mr. Nitesh Rane and Sandesh alias Gotya Sawant, also an accused in the case. However, the court granted bail to co-accused Manish Dalvi.
