Jodhpur: Sacked Rajasthan minister Mahipal Maderna, arrested in Bhanwari Devi case, on filed a plea in a CBI court seeking bail on ground of attending to his sick father and participating in the assembly session. The move came after Maderna, who was arrested on December 2, refused to accept an official letter intimating him about the start of the session, as an apparent mark of protest.
Though, the primary ground for the bail was cited as illness of Maderna's father, Paras Ram Maderna, but attendance of session is also one of the reasons cited in the plea.
Earlier, another accused, Congress MLA Malkhan Singh Bishnoi, had also applied for the interim bail solely for the purpose of attending the session.
Both the pleas are listed for hearing on Thursday. Paras Ram Maderna was admitted to the ICU of the SMS Hospital on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, The High Court, while hearing a plea by Bishnoi's 85-year-old mother Amri Devi protesting the attachment of the property of her absconding daughter Indra, has asked the counsel of the petitioner to make CBI also a party in the case.
Amri had objected to the attachment of the ancestral property claiming that no division of her property has ever undertaken and hence, the property as indicated by the CBI as her share, is not her share.
"We will give an application to the CBI to appear before the court to reply to the petition along with the government," her counsel Sunil Joshi.
The court has also sought the details from the CBI as to how many times Indra Bishnoi was summoned for interrogation and how many times she ignore the CBI's summons.
Indra Bishnoi has also filed two separate petitions protesting the issuance of arrest warrant against her and order of the attachment of her property by the CBI court.
