Pradyuman murder case: SC rejects plea, Pintos to remain out on bail

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday dismissed a petition, seeking cancellation of the interim bail granted to Augustine and Grace Pinto, trustees of the Ryan International School, in the murder case of seven-year-old Pradyuman Thakur.
A two-judge bench of the apex court, headed by Justice RK Aggarwal and also comprising Justice Abhay Manohar Sapre, dismissed the petition filed by Pradyuman’s father Varun Chandra Thakur, giving relief to the Pintos, who are out on interim bail.
Lawyer Sushil Tekriwal appeared for petitioner Varun. Earlier, the Punjab and Haryana High Court had granted interim bail to the Pintos, accused in the case of Pradyuman, who was found murdered in the Ryan International school premises on September 8.
It was subsequently challenged by Varun Thakur in the apex court. (AGENCIES)
