The Supreme Court will hear bail applications filed by Shyamkanu Mahanta and Siddharth Sharma today, following their arrest in the Zubeen Garg case.
The Supreme Court of India is scheduled to hear bail applications submitted by Shyamkanu Mahanta and Siddharth Sharma today. Both men were arrested in connection with the Zubeen Garg case, a high‑profile investigation that has attracted significant media attention.
The bail pleas were filed shortly after their arrest, seeking release pending trial. The court will consider the arguments presented by the defense, the prosecution’s counter‑arguments, and the legal merits of the case.
Lawyers for Mahanta and Sharma have argued that the evidence against them is insufficient for continued detention. The prosecution maintains that the charges warrant continued custody.
The hearing is part of a broader judicial review of the case, which involves allegations of financial misconduct and other serious offenses. The outcome will determine whether the two men remain in custody while the trial proceeds.
Observers expect the court to deliver a decision later in the day, potentially setting a precedent for similar cases involving high‑profile defendants.
