THE Supreme Court has extended by four weeks the interim bail of convict Vikas Yadav, who is undergoing a 25-year jail term in the 2002 Nitish Katara murder case. The plea came up before a bench of Justices M M Sundresh and K Vinod Chandran on July 1.

"Though arguments have been made by both the sides with respect to the physical condition of the petitioner's mother, we are inclined to extend the period of interim bail by four more weeks," the bench said.
