The charges against Ashish Mishra alias Monu, son of Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra Teni, were to be framed today, but the hearing has been adjourned till May 24. Giving the discharge application, Ashish’s lawyer argued that the minister’s son was going to receive the deputy chief minister of the state, Keshav Maurya. It was just an accident. This cannot be termed as a well-planned conspiracy. On this, the lawyer of the farmer side, Mohammad Aman, filed an objection. After this, the court has fixed the next date for 24 May.
Earlier, when Monu entered the court amidst police security, he was seen constantly flaunting his mustache. Let us tell you, out of 14 accused including Ashish in Tikunia violence of Lakhimpur Kheri, 13 accused are lodged in the district jail. Only one of them has got bail. On January 3, a 5000-page charge sheet was filed in the court.

The Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court had granted bail to Ashish on February 10, after which the Kisan Paksha reached the Supreme Court.

Ashish Mishra, the main accused of Tikunia violence, is in jail since April 24, 2022.
The application for separation from the charges is the discharge application.
Ashish Mishra had filed a discharge application stating that he was innocent. It clearly states that there is no ground for any action against him. There is no evidence in the court records on the basis of which he can be prosecuted. On this the prosecution has to file an objection.
Violence erupted on 3 October 2021 after the death of farmers after being crushed to death by a vehicle at Tikunia in Lakhimpur Kheri.
Such was the bail from the High Court
In this high profile case, how the High Court gave the decision of bail, it was not being embraced by anyone. After the lawyer’s argument, the High Court had said, “Even if we accept the arguments of the prosecution, it is clear that there were thousands of protesters at the spot.” In such a situation, it is possible that the driver drove the car to escape and this incident happened. During the arguments it was said that the SIT could not produce any such evidence to prove that abetment was made to board the vehicle.
