Guwahati: The Supreme Court will hear the bail-related proceedings in the Zubeen Garg death case on November 30 after the hearing scheduled for Friday, November 6, was postponed.
The matters concern the bail applications of Shyamkanu Mahanta and Siddhartha Sharma. The court will also take up the Assam government’s challenges to the bail granted to Amritprabha Mahanta and Sandipan Garg by the Gauhati High Court.
The state government decided to challenge the bail orders, a move confirmed by Special Director General of Police (CID) and Special Investigation Team (SIT) chief Munna Prasad Gupta on October 18.
Shyamkanu Mahanta, organiser of the Northeast India Festival, and Siddhartha Sharma are among the accused in the case. Sandipan Garg, a suspended Assam Police DSP and cousin of the late singer, was arrested by the SIT, while Amritprabha Mahanta is another accused who secured bail.
The trial is underway before a fast-track court. Gupta had earlier stated that 134 witnesses had been examined.
