Bhaga Barad challenges rejection of stay on conviction

The Gujarat High Court has sought a response from the state government after disqualified Congress MLA from Talala constituency Bhaga Barad moved the high court against the order of the Veraval Sessions Court refusing to stay his conviction in a mineral theft case.
The single judge bench of Justice Sonia Gokani has directed the government to file its reply in the matter by mid-June.
Notably, Barad has been fighting a bitter legal battle with the state government over the hasty decision of the Assembly speaker Rajendra Trivedi of disqualifying him on March 5 immediately after his conviction by a Sutrapada court in the mineral theft case on March 1.
