Overview
- Justice Anup Jairam Bhambhani issued notice to Delhi Police and the deceased wrestler’s family on Sushil Kumar’s new bail application.
- The court called for a detailed status report and a reply from the complainant, and also sought Kumar’s nominal roll from jail authorities.
- The defence argued that all material public witnesses have been examined, while the prosecution and the complainant disputed that claim and sought time to file their report.
- The High Court listed the matter for May 4, 2026, after noting the Supreme Court’s August 13, 2025 order cancelling Kumar’s earlier bail over concerns about witness influence and delay.
- Kumar is challenging the Rohini trial court’s February 6, 2026 refusal of bail, issued as the murder case over the May 2021 assault and death of Sagar Dhankar continues at the prosecution-evidence stage.
