Gujarat High Court Denies Bail to AAP MLA Chaitar Vasava in Assault Case
The Gujarat High Court rejected AAP legislator Chaitar Vasava's plea to suspend his seven-year sentence for assault and extortion of forest officials during a 2023 anti-encroachment drive. The court criticized Vasava's conduct as unbecoming of a legislator, citing his history of serious offenses and misuse of bail. While Vasava and some accused were denied relief, others, including his wife and a young associate, were granted bail. The court emphasized the supremacy of law over power.
