The Gujarat government Saturday opposed the interim bail plea moved before the Morbi sessions court by Oreva Group Managing Director Jaysukh Patel in the Jhulto Pul collapse case.
Patel had sought the interim bail for 15-20 days Saturday saying his presence was necessary to get a loan sanctioned and property mortgaged amid the approaching financial year-end to pay the interim compensation amount to the kin of the Morbi tragedy victims as ordered by the Gujarat High Court on February 22.
However, special public prosecutor Sanjay Vora, on behalf of the state government, submitted that the company’s own proposal to pay Rs 5 lakh to the kin of each of the deceased must have been based on some calculation.
