After the Bombay High Court (HC) acquitted former Delhi University professor GN Saibaba and five other accused in an alleged Maoist links case, Maharashtra government has moved to Supreme Court challenging HC verdict, reported news wire PTI.

The Nagpur bench of the Bombay HC on Tuesday acquitted all accused including GN Saibaba, Hem Mishra, Mahesh Tirkey, Vijay Tirkey, Narayan Sanglikar, Prashant Rahi and Pandu Narote (deceased) in the case. The court set aside the verdict of a sessions court that had convicted Saibaba and others in 2017, noting the prosecution failed to prove the case against him.
