Aug 28 – In a significant relief to Amit Palekar, High Court today set aside the Ponda Additional Sessions Court order cancelling his bail in the Banastari accident matter. The HC has held that the order passed by additional sessions judge was an ‘illegal’ order, informed Palekar’s counsel. He further pointed out that investigation in the case was not hampered due to Palekar visiting countries other than France. The counsel referred to the matter as a case of political vendetta and a ‘storm in a tea cup’. “We always felt that he had a blanket order to travel abroad, wherever he wants to go. Court now gives its imprimatur, because it has seen that it is a blanket order,” he added. Palekar is accused of tempering with evidence in the Bansatari accident case on Aug 6,2023 that claimed 3 lives and injured 3 others.
