Arvind Gadling's bail plea in the 2016 arson case has been adjourned by the Supreme Court.
The hearing was scheduled to take place before a bench comprising Justice PK Mishra and Justice AS Chandrashekhar, but it was adjourned after Justice Chandrashekhar conveyed his inability to hear the matter. The matter will now be placed before the Chief Justice of India for assignment to a new bench.
This is not the first time that Justice Chandrashekhar has recused himself from hearing the case. In August 2025, he had expressed his inability to continue hearing the matter, despite having heard it since July 2024.
Gadling is accused of being part of a conspiracy behind the torching of 80 vehicles transporting iron ore from Surajgarh mines in Maharashtra's Gadchiroli in December 2016. His bail plea has been pending before the Supreme Court since 2023. This year, the court ordered that the trial in the arson case be expedited. Gadling is also an accused in the 2018 Bhima Koregaon violence near Pune.
