Nagpur:  The Bombay High on Friday held that it was inclined to grant bail to Delhi University professor G.N. Saibaba and the rejection of his earlier bail pleas needs to be re-examined in light of his ill health. The bail pleas of Mr. Saibaba, arrested for alleged links with Maoists, were rejected by the Sessions Court and the Nagpur Bench of the High Court.

“We find that the subsequent development of the deterioration in his health condition makes it necessary to re-examine the plea made by the petitioner to release him on bail,” a division Bench on Chief Justice Mohit Shah and Justice A.K. Menon observed.
