SC To Hear Activist Navlakha's Plea For Shifting Out From Mumbai Public Library Today
The Supreme Court is likely to hear on Monday a plea of activist Gautam Navlakha, who is under house arrest in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case, that he be shifted from a public library in Mumbai to some other place. A bench of Justices K M Joseph and B V Nagarathna had on April 28 directed the CBI to file its reply within two weeks on Navlaka’s petition seeking to be shifted from the public library to some other place in the city as the facility needs to be vacated.
Besides, the top court also directed Navlakha to deposit another Rs 8 lakh toward expenses for making available police personnel for his security. While ordering his house arrest on November 10 last year, the apex court had initially directed Navlakha to deposit Rs 2.4 lakh as the expenses to be borne by the state for making available police personnel to effectively facilitate placing him under house arrest.
The direction on paying money was passed after Additional Solicitor General (ASG) S V Raju submitted that a total bill of Rs 66 lakh was pending. On November 10, 2022, the top court had allowed Navlakha, who was then lodged in Navi Mumbai’s Taloja prison in connection with the case, to be placed under house arrest owing to his deteriorating health.
