New Delhi, Oct. 27 -- The Supreme Court on Monday allowed 2021 Lakhimpur Kheri violence case accused Ashish Mishra to spend Diwali with his family from November 8 to 16, relaxing his bail condition barring him from entering the district except to attend trial. A bench, comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana, granted the relief after the Uttar Pradesh government said 91 of the 131 witnesses had been examined and assured the court that the trial would be completed expeditiously. "The balance has to be maintained by the prosecution," the bench said, stressing that witnesses must be examined without undue delay or haste. The hearing followed concerns raised by victims over the dropping of key witnesses. The court noted that a new special public prosecutor had been appointed and the trial judge transferred following a vigilance review. Mishra, son of former Union minister Ajay Mishra, is accused of mowing down protesting farmers in October 2021. He was granted bail in January 2023....
