Supreme Court extends Madani's bail by a month

August 22, 2014 20:08

The Supreme Court extended the bail to Abdul Nazir Madani, prime accused in the 2008 Bangalore serial bomb blast case, by a month on health grounds. A bench of justices J Chelameswar and A K Sikri said it was not interfering with its order after the Karnataka government objected to Madani's plea to allow him to continue on bail. The apex court, on July 11, had granted one-month bail to Madani. He has been behind bars for the last four years and is suffering from diabetes and vision-threatening ailment in both eyes. The apex court had earlier directed the Karnataka government to provide medical treatment to him.
