Bhima Koregaon accused Anand Teltumbde has approached the Bombay High Court seeking interim bail to visit his mother and family, after the recent death of his brother Milind Teltumbde, also a wanted-accused in the 2018 case..Milind Teltumbde was killed in a gun-battle that took place in Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra on November 13, 2021.Through his application, Teltumbde submitted that his family had lost touch with Milind sometime in mid-1990s, with no contact with him since..Senior Advocate Mihir Desai appearing for Teltumbde, stated that his father had expired a few years ago and his mother was 92 years old now. Since his mother was aged, he expressed desire to spend some time with his family after the unfortunate incident..The National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed its reply opposing the bail application. Advocate Chintan Shah on behalf of NIA, sought time to enable the Additional Solicitor General Anil Singh to argue the case. Accordingly, the Bench of Justices SS Shinde and NR Borkar adjourned the matter for physical hearing on February 16, 2022. .Teltumbde approached the High Court after the special NIA court had rejected his plea for temporary release in December 2021. The special judge had noted that Teltumbde had challenged the rejection of regular bail before the High Court which was pending, and hence the application for temporary bail will not be tenable before it. .The present application seeking temporary bail was filed in the pending appeal challenging the rejection of regular bail rejection order. Teltumbde has also filed a writ petition challenging bail provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and misuse of the term "front organisation" by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).Since both these petitions have over lapping grounds, they are being heard together by the High Court.
