My uncle convicted under section 7 and 13(1)(d) of PC Act 1988 (Anti corruption) (1 year RI) in lower court. We have appealed in high court. Recently the case came for hearing and the arguments are completed. A few days after arguments high court bench changed. All the anti corruption cases were shifted to different bench. My lawyer is saying we need to do arguments again before the new bench. The case status in high court portal is showing as CAV…what does CAV means. Someone told me that the old bench will pronounce the judgment (where arguments already completed) as the case status is showing as CAV and there will not be need for arguments again before new bench. Is it true?
One more question…if we lost the case in high court also how many day will be given to surrender before lower court to serve the lower court punishment (1 year RI). How many days it takes to pass the orders to lower court from high court? Is there any way we can get bail in Supreme Court to avoid surrendering. My uncle is 70 years old and suffering with prostate problem and osteoarthritis. Is there any we can get bail or postponing the surrendering on medial grounds?
