Judge suspended for granting bail to rape-accused SP leader Gayatri Prajapati

The Allahabad High Court judge has suspended a judge of a Lucknow court for granting bail to rape-accused Samajwadi Party leader and former Uttar Pradesh minister Gayatri Prajapati. The SP leader is accused of raping a woman and attempting to rape her minor daughter.

The 49-year-old leader was granted bail by a special judge of POCSO court Om Prakash Mishra. But now, the bail was challenged by the state government in the High Court. Thus, the bail was put on hold “until further orders” on Friday.

“I may, however, observe that the manner in which the learned judge has shown the haste in releasing the accused on bail ignoring the nature of offence allegedly committed by the respondent accused and the fact that the crime came to be registered against these accused by virtue of the order of the Supreme Court dated 17/2/2017. I have my reservations about the bonafides/intention of the learned judge who is about to retire on 30/4/2017,” said Chief Justice Dilip B Bhosale.

Gayatri Prajapati was detained in Lucknow last month after being on run for over two weeks.
