A day after Union minister Ajay Mishra's son Ashish Mishra, an accused in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence case, returned to jail due to the Supreme Court rejecting his bail bail, families of farmers killed in the clashes hailed the apex court's decision, saying their faith in judiciary has increased.

The Supreme Court had on April 18 cancelled the bail granted to Ashish Mishra by the Allahabad High Court and asked him to surrender in a week. He surrendered in a local court in Lakhimpur on Sunday.
