Expressing serious concern over the swift grant of anticipatory interim bail, the Advocates Association of Bengaluru wrote to CJI alleging of “VIP treatment” to the MLA.
“The usual process in Highcourt of Karnataka is that new matters of Anticipatory bail take several days and weeks for posting. However VIP matters are entertained overnight. This practice would lead to common man losing faith in judicial system,” read the letter expressing the need to treat an MLA as a common man.
The letter further requested the CJI of Karnataka to direct the registry to post all anticipatory bail matters in one day so that a common is also treated equally.
