Mangaluru: The High Court, on September 15, granted bail to Naresh Shenoy, prime accused in the murder of RTI activist Vinayaka Baliga. The Baliga family had approached the Supreme Court against the judgment of the Karnataka High Court which granted bail to Naresh Shenoy.

The Supreme Court on Monday admitted a special leave petition and ordered to issue notice to Naresh Shenoy. High Court advocate N Ravindranath Kamath told the media that the matter was posted before judges Justice Pinaki Chandra Ghose and Justice U U Lalit in the Supreme Court on Monday.

“Former High Court judge H N Nag Mohandas argued the case on behalf of Ramachandra Baliga. The court went through all the records and issued notices to Naresh Shenoy and the state government. The court also directed us to serve ‘Dasti Notice’ (serving the notice in person by hand) to Naresh Shenoy. We are taking the Dasti Service and once it is served, the matter will come before the court anytime within next two weeks,” Kamath said.
