THERE was no immediate interim relief for social activist Jyoti Jagtap, who is accused and in jail for her alleged involvement in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case, as the Supreme Court on Monday refused to grant her bail.

A two-judge bench of the apex court, led by Justice MM Sundresh and Justice Aravind Kumar, while refusing to grant any immediate relief to Jagtap, also adjourned the hearing on the activist's main bail plea.

Although the court listed Jagtap's main bail plea for further hearing, it refused to grant her interim relief. "We are not inclined to give you interim bail," Justice Sundresh said.
