Gujarat High Court Denies Interim Bail to Journalist Ravi Nair in Defamation Case
The Gujarat High Court denied journalist Ravi Nair's request for interim release in a criminal defamation case filed by Adani Enterprises Limited. Nair was taken into custody on September 17 after a non-bailable warrant was issued for his failure to appear at a hearing. The case involves posts Nair made between 2020 and 2021 about the Adani Group. The court noted Nair could not challenge the warrant after its execution and questioned why he did not inform the court about seeking regular bail from the sessions court. Nair's lawyer contested the warrant's issuance and the characterization of Nair's absence.
