The Bombay High Court on Wednesday rejected the pre-arrest bail plea of Nilima Chavan, a lawyer and a member of Maharashtra State Commission for Protection of Child Rights, booked for allegedly abetting the suicide of Shiv Sena (UBT) former corporator Sudhir More.

Chavan (53) had approached the high court after the sessions court on September 16 rejected her pre-arrest bail petition observing that prima facie there is sufficient material against the lawyer.
