Ahmedabad: Gujarat government today refused to accept an undertaking given by jailed quota agitation leader Hardik Patel for obtaining bail.
Prosecutor Mitesh Amin told Justice AJ Desai of Gujarat High Court that the undertaking was not "agreeable to the government".
Mr Patel's signed undertaking, presented by his lawyer Zubin Bharda, assured that if set free, he would refrain from the activities that may affect law and order situation but will "continue to agitate for grievances of the Patidar community in a peaceful and democratic manner".
Advocate Bharda argued that his client was "better suited" for bail than his three associates arrested in the same case (Chirag Patel, Ketan Patel and Dinesh Patel) who have got bail after giving undertakings.
The lower courts in Surat and Ahmedabad (where there are separate sedition cases against Hardik Patel) have refused him bail.
Hardik Patel is lodged at Lajpore jail in Surat.
