Custody of the appellant (Kavitha) is not necessary. She has been behind bars for five months. The likelihood of the trial being concluded in the near future is impossible. As said in various pronouncements of this court, undertrial custody should not turn into a punishment,” a Bench led by Justice BR Gavai said, setting aside the July 1 Delhi High Court order denying her bail. #KKavitha #KKavithaArrest #CBI #DelhiLiquorScam #DelhiLiquorPolicy #DelhiExcisePolicy Read story here: https://tinyurl.com/4a58ehnp
