New Delhi:
Vyapam scam whistleblower Anand Rai's lawyer on Monday told the Supreme Court that Anand Rai has got bail from a local court in Madhya Pradesh.
A bench headed by Justice DY Chandrachud observed that Anand Rai has been released on bail on April 7, 2022, by a local court in Madhya Pradesh.
The top court also said that if a charge sheet is filed against Anand Rai, he can initiate a proceeding under section 482 of CrPC.
Vyapam scam whistleblower Anand Rai's lawyer on Friday approached Supreme Court and mentioned his plea seeking an early hearing of his petition against the Madhya Pradesh High Court order, which dismissed his plea for quashing the FIR and vacated interim relief granted to him.
On Friday, the lawyer told the Supreme Court, "the whistleblower has been arrested even though the principal accused is on bail". He also told the Court that the MP police had issued notice to him to appear and join the investigation today but he was arrested last night from Delhi, days after he moved a plea in the top Court.
Anand Rai had filed a special leave petition against the Madhya Pradesh High Court order dated April 4 2022 whereby the High Court has dismissed the petition preferred by the petitioner Rai for quashing the FIR dated March 27 2022 and has vacated the interim Order dated April 1, 2022, granted by the High Court. On April 1, MP HC has granted interim protection from arrest to Rai.
