Bombay HC refers to SC judgment in Arnab Goswami case during the hearing of Varavara Rao's case.

"Now we have a judgment(Arnab case) wherein it has been clarified that HC can grant bail in writ. Earlier there was a grey area. Now the law has been made clear", Justice Shinde says

'Arnab's case was on different facts', submits ASG Anil Singh for NIA @NIA_India

"Earlier both of us were pondering whether under 226 bail can be granted, but the position has been clarified now", Justice Shinde replies.

VV Rao has had ailments from the beginning, they do not have the infrastructure in jail in terms of medical facilities and he keeps getting unwell/sick since the conditions are such, that is why he cannot stay in jail - Grover

#VaravaraRao
Once he goes back to jail he will again get sick seeing the ailments he is suffering from, so we will be back to court again as he will get sick - Grover

He is a famous poet, he has had 24 cases against him- Grover.

Justice Shinde asks about the stage of trial.

Framing of charges, replies ASG Anil Singh.

#BombayHighCourt
#VaravaraRao
Lordship we have asked for a copy of the hard disk and till now we haven't got it, so there is no question of charges being framed anytime soon. Maybe late 2021, charges will be framed, trials take so much time - Grover.

I have one request, we as his laywers have not met VV Rao till now, so can his lawyers have a meeting with him, a legal mulakat - Indira Jaising @IJaising

We'll consider this, actually we have to also be careful of not exposing Mr Rao to any harm by visiting him- Shinde J
Court adjourns hearing till next Monday, December 21.
Earlier interim order that Varavara Rao should not be discharged without informing the Court before will continue.

This is terrible weighing of the costs and benefits of the pardon power. I think Senator Murphy woefully undervalues its utility. /1


In part because the Congress of which he is a part has established no functioning second-look mechanisms for shortening sentences or expunging convictions, commutations and pardons are the only mechanisms for correcting injustices in the federal system. /2

And it's not as if those injustices are rare. Go to any federal correctional facility, and take time to learn who is there and about their cases, and you find literally thousands of people whose sentences were grossly excessive given their offenses. /3

Those people need commutations as a corrective because there is no parole or other second look in place to address that. Some have tried to use compassionate release under the First Step Act, but DOJ tries to block those efforts at every turn and it's a limited option. /4

Presidential commutations are thus the only avenue for these folks. And under President Obama, more than 1,700 regular people (not his cronies) received relief. It was woefully inadequate for the need, but it shows the value of the power. /5
