On August 8, senior advocate Anand Grover mentioned the matter before CJI Gavai for an early hearing, citing his client Gadling's over six-year-long incarceration.
Surendra Gadling, Sagar Gorakhe, Sudhir Dhawale, Ramesh Gaichor, Hanny Babu, Rona Wilson and Mahesh Raut are currently lodged in Taloja Jail in neighbouring Navi Mumbai.
Senior advocate Mihir Desai, appearing for Raut, sought interim bail from the top court on the ground that he had to go to Gadchiroli to attend the ceremonies after the death of his grandmother.
Raut was arrested in June 2018 and is presently in judicial custody. He had moved HC in 2022 seeking bail and challenging the order passed by the special NIA court refusing him bail.
