Supreme Court Refuses to Cancel Bail Granted to Ashish Mishra in Lakhimpur Kheri Violence Case

The Supreme Court refused to cancel the bail of Ashish Mishra, son of ex-Union Minister Ajay Mishra, in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case.

The plea claimed that witnesses were being threatened, but the police report did not substantiate the allegations that a person close to Mishra had tried to influence the witnesses. 

The Court directed a speedy examination of key witnesses and allowed the witness to file a complaint if aggrieved. 

The bench permitted Mishra to visit Lakhimpur Kheri on Ram Navami on April 5 but ordered him to return to Lucknow by April 7.
