The Supreme Court today granted two weeks to the National Investigating Agency (NIA) to respond to the petition filed by former Lt Col Srikant Purohit seeking bail in the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case.
 
A bench, comprising Justices H L Dattu and C K Prasad, issued the directions after hearing counsel for NIA, who sought time for filing a counter-affidavit to the petition filed by the accused.
 
Purohit in his petition prayed for grant of bail on the grounds that the investigation in the case is already over and it will take a long time for the trial to conclude.
 
The apex court had earlier dismissed the bail petition of another accused Pragya Singh Thakur in the case.
