GUWAHATI: Amid the crucial probe into the APSC scam, the Gauhati High Court on Tuesday rejected the bail petition moved by chairman Rakesh Paul who has been languishing in jail for the last several months.
A disappointed Paul and his legal team now has no option to pin hopes on the Supreme Court for respite. His lawyers, sources, say are moving the apex court challenging the ruling on Tuesday.
A division bench of the court ruled that since the probe into the nefarious cash for job scam has reached a crucial stage, the bail is not advisable for the chairman.
Paul who two months back procured bail from the Supreme Court was rearrested acting on a fresh bribery case registered against him in Bhangagarh police outpost.
Sources told Assam Times that Paul is moving the country's apex court challenging the High Court's ruling on Tuesday.

Its official. Pramod Boro is dead. The socking news has come from GMCH where the KMSS activist breathed his last at 4-20 in the afternoon five hours after he was rushed from Dispur following serious burn injuries.Immediately after he was rushed to GMCH, the authorities provided him with best possible treatment. But of no avail.He died a hard death in the afternoon five hours after he set himself on fire in Dispur in protest against the land patta distribution function at the Sankardev Kalakhetra.The forty five year old man from Gorchuk area in Guwahati was a carpenter by profession and joined the KMSS eight years ago.
A ray of respite for the Guwahatians. The cable operators have called off strike slated for Tuesday.The decision was taken after power minister assured them that he would positively look into their demands.

KMSS president Akhil Gogoi blamed it all on the Government for the injury of Pramode Boro who attempted self immolation in Dispur opposing the land patta distribution on Monday.Talking to reporters at GMCH premises after visiting Bodo, Gogoi said that the government should have listen to KMSS. “We expected that the government would not allow this to happen. But they did finally,” he said.He further urged his fellows not to take resort to self immolation adding that the entire episode is a conspiracy by chief minister Tarun Gogoi, who thinks only of the Lok Sabha polls and not the common people.

His condition is critical.The incident took place at 10-30 in the morning in front of the State Secretariat where Boro set himself on fire after pouring kerosene as part of the massive agitation on land pattas for the land less lot in the city.
Akhil Gogoi seems to have landed in trouble. Kamrup (Metro) district administration is believed to have been prepared to arrest the KMSS president charging him with fuelling the situation where one of his activists sustained serious burn injury for self-immolation attempt.According to allegations, Gogoi has been preparing the blueprint of the dangerous agitation for the last couple of days. That’s why, Gogoi can’t escape the responsibility.Notably, Gogoi earlier threatened the government to launched a Pothoru-Ghat like episode in the history of Assam if the government fails to halt the land patta distribution.
