Justice Sameer Dave recused himself from hearing the regular bail plea of a manager of Oreva Group. The manager is in jail for his alleged role in a bridge collapse in Morbi last year that killed 135 people.
When the bail plea of manager Dinesh Dave came up for hearing before Justice Sameer Dave, he recused himself saying, “Not before me”, though he did not give any reason for his decision.
