SC dismisses Ansals' plea on bail cancellation

The Apex Court of India on Thursday refused to entertain an application filed by the Ansal brothers seeking review of their bail cancellation in the Uphaar cinema tragedy case.

The Uphaar cinema tragedy in New Delhi had claimed 59 lives.

A Bench comprising of Justices B N Aggrawal and G S Singhvi said the Ansal brothers, cannot seek review of the apex court's order in the garb of modification application.

The Court directed the accused to file a review petition as that was the only remedy available to them under the law.

When the lawyer of Ansal brothers sought permission to approach the High Court with his plea, the Court observed, "We have rejected your pleas. Where is the jurisdiction of the High Court? You can't blow hot and cold."
