The Bombay High Court on Thursday advanced the hearing of anticipatory bail petitions of four corporators from the neighbouring Thane in connection with the builder Suraj Parmar suicide case upon the prosecution's request.

The High Court had on November 3 granted interim protection from arrest to Vikrant Chavan (Congress), Najib Mulla, Hanumant Jagdale (both NCP) and Sudhakar Chavan (independent) and posted the hearing of their pre-arrest bail pleas to December 2.
