New Delhi, Friday 11 December 2009: The Supreme Court on Friday posted for January 19 the hearing on the bail plea of Manu Sharma, sentenced for life in the Jessica Lal murder case.

A Bench of Justices P Sathasivam and H L Dattu, however, did not entertain the submission made by senior counsel Ram Jethmalani on the earlier rejection of Sharma’s bail.

Sharma was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Delhi High Court, which had reversed the acquittal order passed by the sessions court.
