NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday granted permission to Manu Sharma alias Siddharth Vashisht, convicted to life imprisonment in the Jessica Lall murder case, to file an application for grant of bail.
A bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan also agreed to examine on November 27 his plea for an early hearing of his appeal against the conviction imposed by the Delhi High Court.
The apex court passed the order after senior counsel Ram Jethmalani made a mention of the matter before the apex court.
Manu Sharma, son of senior Congress leader Venod Sharma, was held guilty by the Delhi High Court for killing ramp model Lall at a South Delhi restaurant owned by socialite Bina Ramani on the intervening night of April 29-30, 1999.
Vikas Yadav, son of controversial Uttar Pradesh politician D P Yadav, was also convicted and sentenced to four years imprisonment for destroying evidence in the case.
The High Court convicted the accused after reversing the acquittal order passed by the trial court, against which he has moved the appeal and the plea for release on bail.
