Bhopal: Amid the row over the Sidhi urination incident, the accused Pravesh Shukla, who has been booked under the NSA, is set to remain in jail for at least six months as several sections were non-bailable. ETV Bharat spoke to some of the legal experts about how long he will remain behind bars. Anurag Maheshwari, an advocate practising at the High Court, said that except for two sections, all three were non-bailable. "It will be the discretion of the court to grant bail to the accused or not. Hence, in such a situation it will be difficult for the accused to seek bail from the court at any stage."
Advocate Saurabh Srivastava says that it will not be possible for the accused to come out of jail for at least six months, because NSA was non-bailable. "The accused was booked under the SC/ST Act also. It is generally argued in the court that the accused was not knowing the caste of the victim. On the spur of the moment, the accused insulted the victim. But in this case, the accused was knowing the victim."
