The Punjab and Haryana High Court judge, Justice A.B. Chaudhari, on Tuesday recused himself from hearing the anticipatory bail application of three trustees of Ryan International School in connection with the FIR registered in the seven-year- old student’s murder in the Gurugram school.
The matter will now come up before a separate Bench of the High Court.
The trustees — Augustine. F. Pinto, Grace Pinto and Ryan Pinto — filed an application for anticipatory bail on September 16. However, the application was filed again after removal of certain objections raised by the court registry in the matter. A bail application of the trustees was rejected by the Bombay High Court earlier this week.
