(IN): Kaziranga Forest Ranger beaten up by Assam MLAs

[Guest guest]

UPDATE:

 

The Gauhati High Court heard the Bail petitions of the absconding MLAs on

1st April' 2009.

 

Today (April 3rd, 2009) the Hon'ble Gauhati High Court rejected the Bail

Petitions of the two MLAs who are still absconding.

Now the MLAs have three options:

 

1. To Surrender,

2. To file fresh petitions with the Hon'ble High Court or

3. Going to the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India.
