Ranchi, July 26
The Jharkhand High Court today reserved its order on the writ petition filed by Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) supremo and former Coal and Mines Minister Shibu Soren seeking quashing of an arrest warrant issued against him by a lower court.
A two-member Division Bench comprising Chief Justice P.K. Iyer Balasubrahmaniyan and Mr Justice S.J. Mukhopadhyay reserved the judgement after hearing arguments of both sides.
When the court sought clarification from the petitioner on whether he wanted to quash the entire proceedings of the case or only the warrant, Mr Soren's counsel R.K. Jain said his client wanted to quash only the arrest warrant as it was issued after a gap of 18 years. —
