Supreme Court Upholds Interim Bail for Congress Nandigram Candidate Milan Pradhan
The Supreme Court declined to interfere with the Calcutta High Court's interim bail granted to Congress' Nandigram bypoll candidate Milan Pradhan, allowing him to campaign and participate in vote counting. The bail is valid until October 20, with the West Bengal government permitted to raise objections before the high court if Pradhan seeks an extension. The bypoll took place on October 6 amid pending criminal cases against Pradhan from 2007 related to the Nandigram agitation.
