In an application moved before the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad HC, the state government pleaded that the petition should be heard on Friday itself for as the matter requires the court's immediate attention in the interest of justice for the gang-rape victim
On an application moved by the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government, the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court on Friday issued a stay order on the bail granted to former UP minister Gayatri Prajapati, who is accused in a rape case.
Earlier, Prajapati and two other accomplices were granted bail by Additional Sessions Judge O Prakash Mishra on April 22. Passing the bail cancellation order, Chief Justice Dilip B Bhosle also directed the police to take the two other accused into custody with immediate effect.

The government's cousnel pleaded that the bail granted to Prajapati was without considering the correct facts and circumstances. Gayatari was, however, not released from prison despite being granted bail despite the police seeking a judicial remand in two other cases against him.
In his order, the Chief Justice not only directed that the April 25 bail order be kept on abeyance, but also issued directives to the police to immediately arrest two other accused in the gang-rape case – Vikas and Pintu. The court posted the matter for next hearing after two months.
This means that the controversial former minister will have to remain behind bars for another two months, or longer. The police is preparing drawing up a charge-sheet against him to ensure that Prajapati gets maximum punishment in the rape case.
