New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday said it will hear on November 9 the plea of jailed activist Gautam Navlakha that he be placed under house arrest instead of judicial custody in the Elgar Parishad case.
A bench of Justices K M Joseph and Hrishikesh Roy deferred the matter after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta apprised it that he is being treated in Mumbai’s Jaslok hospital.
“Parties are granted liberty to inspect the medical reports by Jaslok hospital,” the bench said.
