The Karnataka High Court yesterday directed the state government to file objections, if any, on the bail application filed by Kerala based People's Democratic Party leader Abdul Nasser Madani, an accused in the 2008 Bangalore serial blasts case.

When the application of Madani came up for hearing, Justice V Jagannath asked the state to file its objections if any within 10 days. A lower court had earlier rejected his bail plea. Madani was nabbed from his orphanage-cum-madarsa in Anwarssery in Kerala on August 17 last year and subsequently brought to Bangalore.

Madani was also an accused in the 1998 Coimbatore serial blasts in which 58 people were killed. However, he was acquitted by the trial court.
