The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear a plea challenging the grant of bail to Sonam Raghuvanshi, accused in the alleged murder of her husband, Raja Raghuvanshi, after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta informed the Court that her release would be imminent unless the matter was taken up immediately.

Mentioning the matter before a Bench of Justice J.M. Sundresh and Justice Sheel Nagu, the Solicitor General submitted that the case involved a woman accused of taking her husband to Meghalaya and allegedly murdering him with the assistance of three accomplices before disposing of the body. He pointed out that her bail had earlier been rejected twice on the ground that she was likely to abscond.

Mr Mehta informed the Bench that bail had now been granted solely because the grounds of arrest were not fully supplied at the time of arrest, describing the lapse as a typographical error in a section. Stressing the urgency, he requested the Court to list the matter the very next day.

The bench agreed to list the matter for tomorrow.
