Katara murder case: SC refuses bail to Vikas Yadav

New Delhi, Nov 27 (PTI) The Supreme Court today refused to grant bail to Vikas Yadav, who is undergoing life imprisonment, in connection with the Nitish Katara murder case.

However, the apex court asked the Delhi High Court to expeditiously consider his appeal against the conviction and life imprisonment awarded by the trial court.

A Bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justices B S Chauhan and K S Radhakrishnan did not accept the contention of Yadav that he has been in jail for over seven years.

Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for Yadav, son of controversial Uttar Pradesh politician D P Yadav, submitted that the convict should be granted bail as it would take a lot of time by the High Court to decide his appeal.
