Overview

  • The High Court issued notice to the Centre, the Delhi government and Neelam Katara, listing the matter for September 2.
  • Vikas Yadav seeks two months of interim bail to attend his September 5 marriage and to arrange funds to pay a ₹54 lakh fine imposed at sentencing.
  • Justice Ravinder Dudeja questioned the maintainability of post-conviction interim bail and directed surrender in line with the Supreme Court’s order as Yadav’s current interim bail ends on August 26.
  • Alongside interim relief, Yadav has asked the court to consider statutory remission, challenging the no-remission term, after the Supreme Court allowed him to approach the High Court on that issue.
  • Neelam Katara opposed the plea, as the case stands on a Supreme Court‑affirmed 25‑year no‑remission sentence for Vikas and Vishal Yadav, with over 23 years served and co‑convict Sukhdev ordered released on July 29.
