The Supreme Court of India on Thursday rejected an application from Ashish Mishra, the prime accused in the 2021 Lakhimpur Kheri violence case, to further relax his bail conditions. A bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant dismissed the request, which sought permission for Mishra to visit his native place to attend family functions, including his daughters' birthdays.

What Happened

A Supreme Court bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi, and Justice V Mohana heard the application filed by Ashish Mishra regarding his bail conditions. Mishra's counsel argued that current restrictions prevented him from participating in family events, specifically citing his inability to attend his daughters' birthday celebrations. The court declined to grant the requested relief at this stage of the proceedings.

The Lakhimpur Kheri violence case dates back to 2021. The dismissal of this application maintains the existing bail restrictions imposed on the accused as the legal proceedings continue.
