Denying bail a grave miscarriage of justice: Jethmalani

New Delhi, Nov 3: The denial of bail to DMK MP Kanimozhi by a Delhi Court was today (Nov 3) termed as a "serious miscarriage of justice" by her counsel Ram Jethmalani who hoped that the Supreme Court would set it right.

"What the judge has done is a serious miscarriage of justice. I believe this judge seems to have decided that no relief should be given except by the Supreme Court itself. He is not therefore wanting to do what is plainly right.

"I consider it grave, grave miscarriage of justice and a deliberate misapplication of law, I hope the Supreme Court will soon put this right," Jethmalani said. The senior advocate said that bail can only be denied if a person is likely to abscond to tamper with evidence but "there is no such evidence at least in the case of this woman (Kanimozhi)."
