Delhi High Court Orders Police to Verify Vikas Yadav’s Wedding Date in Katara Case

The verification follows a plea by Nitish Katara’s mother accusing him of misrepresenting his marriage to seek interim bail.

Overview

  • Justice Ravinder Dudeja issued notice to Vikas Yadav and directed Delhi Police to examine the photographs on record and file a status report.
  • Neelam Katara alleges Yadav married on July 5 at The Aura in Noida and seeks perjury proceedings under BNS sections 227, 231, 234 and 235.
  • Yadav’s counsel maintains the July images are from an engagement, says the wedding occurred in September in Ghaziabad, and notes documents were submitted in his Supreme Court appeal.
  • On September 9, the high court dismissed Yadav’s plea to extend interim bail on maintainability grounds after he was earlier released by the Supreme Court to care for his ailing mother.
  • The court has listed the matter for December 9, and the case stems from convictions upheld in 2016 that sentenced Vikas and Vishal Yadav to 25 years without remission and Sukhdev Pehalwan to 20 years.
