New Delhi: The Supreme Court will hear on Monday the plea seeking cancellation of anticipatory bail of Bhavani Revanna, mother of prime accused Prajwal Revanna in the Karnataka sex scandal video case. A bench of Justice Suryakant and Justice Ujjwal Bhuyan will hear the petition filed by the Karnataka SIT. Bhavani Revanna was granted bail by the Karnataka High Court in the kidnapping case.

SIT filed a petition

Bhavani Revanna has been granted anticipatory bail on the condition that she will not visit Mysore and Hassan districts. The SIT probing the case has filed a petition in the Supreme Court against this. Senior advocate Kapil Sibal, appearing for the SIT, has said in the plea that the victim has described Bhavani Revanna's role in her abduction in her statement recorded under Section 164 of the CrPC.

Bhavani Revanna accused of kidnapping

Bhavani Revanna is accused of kidnapping the woman who was allegedly sexually assaulted by Prajwal. It is claimed that she was kidnapped to prevent her from complaining.

Hearing in Supreme Court on petition related to air pollution control

On the other hand, the Supreme Court will hear a PIL related to air pollution control in Delhi on Monday. A bench of Justice Abhay S Oka and Justice AG Masih will hear the case. In the last hearing, the Supreme Court had expressed concern over the nominal compensation being collected from farmers who burn stubble.

The Supreme Court has reprimanded

The Supreme Court had pulled up the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) for not making any effort to implement its directions despite not having initiated a single case on stubble burning. Following the SC's rebuke, the CAQM recently issued a directive, ordering district magistrates of the NCR regions of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan to take action against officers found to be inactive.

26 central teams will be deployed

It has been decided to deploy 26 central teams in the hotspot districts of Punjab and Haryana, which will maintain liaison with the district level officials. Earlier, the Supreme Court had said that the CAQM needs to be more proactive to deal with the threat of air pollution in Delhi and surrounding areas.
