Tripura: The Tripura High Court has stayed an interim bail order of five persons involved in the assault of a government doctor of Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital here.
The HC passed the stay on the interim bail order on Friday night.
Earlier that day a First Class Judicial Magistrate had granted interim bail to the five accused in the case.
A special court was convened by the Chief Justice of Tripura High Court, Sanjoy Karol, late last night following an appeal from the state government, and stayed the order of interim bail that was granted by the judicial magistrate, Tripura Law Minister Ratan Lal Nath told reporters on Saturday.
"We challenged the lower court's order because we thought it was a punishable offence and they could not be released," Nath said.
"The police had arrested the accused immediately," the minister added.
