Uttarakhand court cancels bail of prime conspirator in illegal timber trade case
New Delhi, May 28 (PTI) A court in Uttarakhand on Tuesday cancelled the bail granted to Shahnawaz Hussain, the main conspirator of the illegal timber trade scam case which caused over Rs 20 crore loss of GST to the state tax department.
The department had filed a revision petition challenging the bail granted to Hussain by the same District and Sessions Court of Rudrapur on March 5.
After a detailed hearing in which Uttarakhand government special counsel Lakshya Kumar Singh apprised the court of the adverse consequences of releasing the prime accused on bail as it might hamper the trial of the case, the court ordered Hussain to surrender.
