Eight accused had been refused bail by the High Court on December 1, 2021 while another co-accused Sudha Bharadwaj had been granted bail.
The High Court in its December 1 order, while demarcating Bharadwaj’s plea from the other eight, had noted that Bharadwaj’s application for default bail was pending on the date the application for extension of time to file the chargesheet was made by the Pune Police.
In the present plea filed through advocate R Satyanarayanan, the three accused Rao, Ferreira and Gonsalves sought correction of an alleged error in the December 2021 judgment and consequently, prayed that they be granted bail.
They submitted in the plea that the review application arose on the account of a factual error in the judgment and if that error is not rectified, it will lead to “gross miscarriage of justice”.
