Supreme Court to Hear Meghalaya Government's Plea Against Sonam Raghuvanshi's Bail on July 21

Supreme Court to Hear Meghalaya Government's Plea Against Sonam Raghuvanshi's Bail on July 21PreviousNext

The Supreme Court has postponed to July 21 the hearing on the Meghalaya government's plea challenging bail granted to Sonam Raghuvanshi, accused of murdering her husband, Raja Raghuvanshi, during their 2025 honeymoon. The government contests the bail, arguing that a typographical error in the arrest memo should not invalidate the arrest. The court will examine whether this error justifies bail, with previous hearings noting the seriousness of the case and procedural concerns.
