New Delhi: Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) president Kanhaiya Kumar, charged with sedition, may have to spend another couple of days in prison as the Delhi High Court is likely to hear on Tuesday his bail plea in which he has contended that he was 'falsely implicated'.
His counsel said all defects in his petition pointed out yesterday by the Registry have been rectified and the legal team would press that he was wrongly arrested on the basis of an FIR which was devoid of evidence to book him under such a serious charge.
The counsel said the petition is limited to bail for the JNUSU president who was arrested on February 12.
In the plea, he has also claimed that no case is made out against him as there was no evidence.
Escorted by police, his lawyers Sushil Bajaj and Vrinda Grover had thereafter rushed to the high court Registrar yesterday and mentioned the petition when certain deficiencies were pointed out in it.
The JNUSU president, who is in judicial custody till March 2, had approached the Supreme Court directly seeking bail on the ground that his life was under threat in the Tihar Jail.
