SC refuses to hear Haldiram owner's petition

The Supreme Court has refused to heat the bail petition filed by the owner of the Haldiram Group, Prabhu Shankar Agarwal, who has been convicted for conspiring to kill a tea stall owner in Kolkata.

The vacation bench headed by Justice Deepak Verma and comprising Justice K S Radhakrishnan asked Agarwal to move Calcutta high court for appropriate relief.

Agarwal had conspired with an extortionist to kill a tea stall owner, who had refused to sell his property to Agarwal. The tea stall owner escaped a bid on his life that was ordered by Agarwal.
