A Palanpur-based jeweler had lodged a complaint against Jayshree Giri for cheating and not returning Rs5 crore.
The state high court has reserved its order on two bail applications by Sadhvi Jayshree Giri, the submissions for which concluded on Tuesday.
In the last hearing on July 16, Giri’s advocate had requested for more time as she had escaped from police custody while submitting that she had given no instructions regarding her bail applications. Hence, the 10th single bench justice RH Shukla had kept the matter for final hearing on Tuesday.
Giri’s advocate on Tuesday submitted that no decision had been taken on the remand application and hence she should be granted regular bail. Opposing the applications, original complainant Pritesh Shah submitted that if an accused could jump parole, she could not be trusted to cooperate with the investigating agency or not run away from prosecution.
The state government too opposed the bail applications on the same ground and submitted that police need to get information from her about persons who helped her in escaping from police custody and those who had given her shelter. If at this stage she is granted bail, it may adversely affect investigation, the government argued.
