In a significant legal development, Naresh Meena is set to return to jail after the Tonk SC-ST Court cancelled the bail previously granted to him by the High Court. The court's decision came on Monday, marking a major setback for Meena, who was embroiled in a high-profile controversy involving an assault on a Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) and subsequent violence during the Deoli-Uniara by-election. The High Court had earlier provided him relief in cases related to arson and violence that erupted following the slapping incident, but this relief has now been revoked due to non-compliance with bail conditions.
The Grounds for Bail Cancellation
The Tonk SC-ST Court based its order on the argument that Naresh Meena failed to adhere to the specific terms and conditions set by the High Court when his bail was initially granted. The legal proceedings were initiated following an application submitted by the Nagarfort Police Station through the Special Public Prosecutor (Special PP) of the SC-ST Court. The prosecution argued that Meena's actions following his release constituted a direct violation of the judicial mandate. Specifically, the police cited an incident where Meena was arrested while on his way to meet the families of seven children who tragically lost their lives in a school accident in Jhalawar. The police presented this arrest as evidence that Meena had breached the conditions of his bail, leading the court to accept the application for cancellation.
Naresh Meena Attacks BJP Government
Following the court's order, Naresh Meena reacted strongly, expressing his respect for the judiciary while simultaneously launching a scathing political attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), while meena stated that he respects the court's decision and will decide on the future legal course of action once he receives a formal copy of the judgment. However, he alleged that the system was acting under political pressure. Meena claimed that while some leaders commit major crimes and become 'clean' upon joining the BJP, he's being targeted for fighting for the rights of the people within the legal framework. He argued that the BJP can't tolerate his advocacy for the poor, farmers, and laborers.
Legal Specifics and FIR Details
The case is registered under FIR number 166/2024 at the Nagarfort Police Station. The government lawyer confirmed that the court accepted the prosecution's plea, noting that the conditions of the High Court's bail weren't followed. Meena, on the other hand, questioned the definition of democracy and the constitution if meeting a grieving family is considered a violation of bail. He characterized the BJP as an 'arrogant' party that stands against the interests of the youth, farmers, and the underprivileged. As the legal battle intensifies, Meena maintains that his voice for the helpless has exposed the true face of the ruling party.
