The Bombay High Court has dismissed an application filed by the State of Goa seeking the cancellation of bail granted to murder accused Deepan Batra.
Batra, a 23-year-old native of Delhi, has been accused of the murder of Maria Joao Fernandes, a resident of Mandrem. The alleged crime took place in February 2025.
The State had approached the court seeking cancellation of the bail previously granted to the accused. However, the High Court rejected the plea, allowing the bail order to remain in force.
Further details regarding the court’s reasoning were not immediately available.
