SHILLONG: Arrested GNLA chairman Champion R Sangma is contemplating to move bail petition before a city court.
This was indicated by Champion’s lawyer Sujit Dey after meeting his client at an undisclosed location here on Wednesday.
“We may move the bail petition before the court of the Deputy Commissioner (Judicial) shortly,” Dey said
While admitting that all the cases against the GNLA chief are non-bailable, the lawyer said it would depend on the discretion of the court to decide whether to grant him bail or not.
Regarding the petition he filed to allow him to be present during interrogation of his client, he said a reply from police was still awaited.
Police custody of the GNLA chief will expire on August 12.
It may be mentioned that Champion, a former Deputy Superintendent of Police, who co-founded the GNLA in 2010, was arrested on July 30, hours after he was pushed back from Bangladesh.
He was in a jail in Bangladesh and had completed his prison term there before being sent back.
