The Bombay High Court (HC), on September 13, dismissed a petition filed by activist Gautam Navlakha to quash the case filed against him in Pune last year for alleged Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) links, reports The Times of India. The HC bench of Justices Ranjit More and Bharati Dangre, however, on a plea made by Navlakha’s counsel Yug Chaudhary extended its existing interim relief granted earlier to ensure that Police don't take coercive action against Navlakha for three weeks in the case registered concerning Elgar Parishad. A FIR was registered against Navlakha after the Elgar Parishad conclave on December 31, 2017, that allegedly triggered violence at Bhima Koregaon village in Pune the next day.
