Allahabad (PTI): A petition by BKU leader Mahendra Singh Tikait seeking stay of his arrest was disposed of on Wednesday by the Allahabad High Court after government counsel submitted that he has already surrendered to authorities.
Government counsel Veer Singh placed before the court a fax copy of Tikait's surrender. Singh contended that the petition was infructuous as the BKU leader has already surrendered.
A division bench comprising Justices Vinod Prasad and A K Singh said the petition was being disposed of in view of the government submission.
The 73-year-old farmers' leader, accused of making casteist remarks against Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati, surrendered before a court in Bijnore today.
The bench said if Tikait moves the concerned court for bail, the matter may be decided on the very same day, if possible.
