Bawania's Plea
Justice Manoj Jain granted 6 hours' custody parole to visit the hospital in Moti Nagar, where one child is admitted in the NICU, and the other is on CPAP support.
Senior Advocate Sunil Dalal, along with Advocate Gagan Bhatnagar, appeared for Neeraj Bawania and submitted that the wife of Neeraj underwent emergency surgery on August 14, 2026, and after her complicated surgery, she delivered triplets at approximately 27 weeks of gestation. Out of these three children, one, unfortunately, died within a few hours of birth. The other two children are stated to be in the NICU in a Hospital in Moti Nagar, New Delhi, the counsel submitted.
It was further submitted that one such child is stated to be on a ventilator while the other is on CPAP support. The wife of the applicant has, however, been discharged.
Court Proceedings and Order
The trial court, in view of the safety of Neeraj Bawania and the fact that he is a high-risk prisoner and the existence of gang rivalry, declined to release him on interim bail.
Additional Standing Counsel (ASC) Rupali Bandopadhyay appeared for the State and sought time to submit a comprehensive report. She also submitted that the applicant is already involved in 28 other cases
"Let a comprehensive report be filed by the next date of hearing with an advance copy to the other side," Justice Jain ordered on August 25. The matter has been listed for hearing on September 2, 2026.
