Activist Anand Teltumbde, an accused in the Bhima-Koregaon case, moved the Bombay High Court seeking anticipatory bail. This comes after Teltumbde was arrested on Saturday after a Pune sessions court rejected his anticipatory bail plea. However, the sessions court later ordered his release, terming the arrest "illegal" since Teltumbde was given interim protection till February 11.

Businessman Robert Vadra today moved a Delhi court seeking anticipatory bail in a money laundering case filed by the Enforcement Directorate. A lawyer from the prosecution team confirmed that Mr Vadra has sought anticipatory bail in the case in which his close aide Manoj Arora was granted interim protection from arrest till February 6.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday once again refused to stay amendments to the SC/ST Act that restored the no anticipatory bail provision and said all matters including the Centre's review petition will be heard on February 19. A bench headed by Justice U.U.Lalit said the issue requires hearing in detail and it will be appropriate if all matters are heard on February 19.
