However, the matter was not listed on Friday. "It was to be heard today...", Bhushan told the Chief Justice of India on Friday. "It was an office mistake.

Lakhimpur Kheri case: SC to hear plea seeking cancellation of bail to Ashish Mishra on March 15 The family members of the victims of the Lakhimpur Kheri incident moved the Supreme Court challenging Allahabad High Court order, which granted bail to the prime accused in the case, Ashish Mishra, who is the son of Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Ajay Mishra Teni. The petition was filed through advocate Prashant Bhushan. In the Special Leave Petition, family members of the deceased have challenged the Allahabad High Court order dated February 10, 2022, wherein Ashish Mishra has granted regular bail. Lakhimpur Kheri case: SC to hear plea seeking cancellation of bail to Ashish Mishra on March 15 “The lack of any discussion in the High Court’s order as regards the settled principles for grant of bail is on account of lack of any substantive submissions to this effect by the state as the accused wields substantial influence over the State government as his father is a Union Minister from the same political party that rules the state,” read the petition.
