SC reject the Manu Sharm bail peal

The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to grant interim bail to Manu Sharma, undergoing life term in Tihar jail on charges of killing model Jessica Lall in April 1999.

A bench, comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan, Justices R V Raveendran and J M Panchal, however, fixed January 22 for hearing the appeal of Manu.

Earlier, senior counsel and Manu Sharma's defence lawyer Ram Jethmalani had defended Manu before the court saying since he belonged to a respectable family and there was no chance of him running away from justice, any conditions could be imposed on him while granting bail.

The court, however, declined to grant interim bail to the convict, who is the son of Haryana Congressman Venod Sharma.

His acquittal by the trial court had led to huge public outcry. The High Court, however, reversed the acquittal order and sentenced him to life imprisonment.
