The Bombay High Court has denied anticipatory bail to Dhananjay Nikam, a Satara sessions court judge accused of soliciting a bribe from a bail applicant. The judge's plea was filed on December 31, 2024. During the hearing, the prosecution claimed that the complainant had an incriminating conversation with the judge in his car. The judge denied the allegations and stated there was no evidence linking him to any wrongdoing. The court had previously ordered a bank to provide CCTV footage related to the case, but the bank cited confidentiality issues. The judge's legal team plans to review the court's decision and consider further actions.
