In a major jolt to industrialist and Orissa Stevedores Limited (OSL) managing director Mahimananda Mishra, the Supreme Court on Tuesday cancelled the bail granted to him by the Orissa High Court.
The State Government had moved the apex court seeking scrapping of the bail granted to Mishra by the High Court.
Notably, the High Court had on July 16 granted Mishra conditional bail in two cases. The bail was granted in connection with Cuttack Press Chhak bomb hurling and Paradip Tarinigada firing cases against two sureties of `1 lakh each.
On September 21, 2013, some miscreants had opened fire and hurled bombs at lawyer Abhay Bhatt near Press Chhak in Cuttack. In May, 2016, miscreants had opened fire at two youths at Tarinigada in Paradip. Mishra was arrested and sent to the Choudwar jail in both the cases.
