Chandigarh, June 01: Disgraced former Haryana DGP SPS Rathore, sentenced to 18-month prison term by a court here in Ruchika Girhotra molestation case, today again failed to get any relief as the Punjab and Haryana High Court deferred the hearing in his bail petition till tomorrow.
The High Court’s single vacation bench of Justice Ajay Tewari posted the matter for tomorrow after it was told to him that advocate of Ruchika’s family Pankaj Bhardwaj was indisposed.
The same judge had yesterday deferred the hearing on Rathore’s revision petition seeking bail till today.
68-year-old Rathore’s lawyer wife Abha Rathore had filed the review petition on his behalf in the High Court on May 26 seeking bail, a day after he was sentenced by a Sessions Court here and lodged in the high-security Burail jail here.
