Gujarat HC Grants Bail to AAP MLA Chaitar Vasava, Bars Him From Dediapada for a Year

The judge cited unbecoming conduct to justify strict geographic curbs during the pending July assault case.

Overview

  • Vasava received regular bail on a Rs 10,000 surety with a one-year prohibition on entering Dediapada taluka, including his home in Bogaj, except for court hearings.
  • Justice M R Mengdey orally noted the incident occurred and said the MLA’s conduct was not befitting his post, rejecting a request to attend constituency meetings.
  • The AAP legislator was arrested on July 5 and is charged under BNS provisions including section 109 for attempt to murder, with a chargesheet filed within 60 days.
  • A sessions court had earlier denied regular bail, though he was briefly released for three days to attend the Assembly before the High Court eased escort conditions.
  • The FIR alleges he hurled a phone that caused head injuries and tried to strike with a glass, while the defence calls it a minor scuffle and points to missing CCTV and an undamaged phone.
