As per news report of The Indian Express, The division Bench of Justices MS Ramachandra Rao and Sureshwar Thakur had reserved the order on the bail plea on July 29. The senior SAD leader is currently lodged at Patiala Central Jail and had moved the High Court seeking regular bail. Majithia had approached a Mohali court seeking to quash the FIR registered against him earlier in February. The district court had, however, rejected his plea prompting him to move the Supreme Court. The apex court, on May 11, had refused to entertain the plea and asked him to instead approach the High Court.
