Bilaspur: The Chhattisgarh High Court Thursday dismissed the bail application of
human rights activist Binayak Sen, who has been sentenced to life
imprisonment for sedition and links with Maoists.
A division bench of Justice T.P. Sharma and Justice R.L. Jhanwar
pronounced the judgment in a jam-packed courtroom here, some 110
km from state capital Raipur.
The court had Wednesday reserved its orders on Sen's plea even as
the state government opposed it on grounds of his association with
the Maoists.
Sen is at present lodged in a central jail in Raipur after he was
sentenced by a trial court in Raipur Dec 24 for sedition and links
with Maoist ideologue Narayan Sanyal and Kolkata-based businessman
Piyush Guha, both of whom have also been sentenced to life.
Sen was accused of acting as a courier between Sanyal and Guha.
