Summary:
Notably, Sharma had moved an anticipatory bail plea before a district court in Morbi on December 27, 2018, against which he had moved the high court. This was challenged by the Mehta before the high court, which upheld the order passed by Sharma. The Gujarat High Court on Monday admitted the anticipatory bail plea filed by former IAS officer Pradeep Sharma in connection with a FIR registered against him in a land allotment case in 2011 and sought a reply from the state government in this regard. Mehta moved a land appeal case in 2006-07 before Sharma, who was the then collector of the region. During the hearing of the plea on Monday, a single judge bench of the court issued notice to the state government directing it to file its reply in the matter by February 19..
