Ahmedabad: The Gujarat High Court on Wednesday adjourned hearing on the interim bail application of Oreva Group Managing Director Jaysukh Patel, the main accused in the collapse of a bridge in Morbi last year which claimed 135 lives.
The court of Justice Divyesh A Joshi declined to urgently hear the plea by Patel’s lawyer Nirupam Nanavati seeking interim bail for his client pending his regular bail application, and posted it on October 27, the day when his regular bail plea will come up for hearing.
The British-era suspension bridge on the Machchhu river in Morbi town of Gujarat collapsed on October 30 last year, killing 135 people and injuring 56 others.
