We have to think about poor litigants; cannot hear you at midnight: Supreme Court to businessman

The Supreme Court of India refused to grant an early hearing in the bail plea of businessman Amandeep Singh Dhall, involved in the Delhi excise policy scam. The court emphasized the need to consider poor litigants and adhere to procedural norms, rejecting the request for an out-of-turn hearing. Dhall, who had been denied bail by lower courts, sought an urgent hearing citing prolonged incarceration compared to other accused. The court scheduled the matter for the second week of October.
