New Delhi, Oct 1 (IBNS) :The Delhi High Court on Monday ordered the release of Gautam Navlakha, one of the five rights activists arrested in connection with Bhima-Koregaon case, saying his detention was "untenable in law," reports said.

The high court granted him the relief saying that the Supreme Court last week had given him the liberty to approach the appropriate forum within four weeks to seek relief, which he has availed.

The high court also quashed the trial court's transit remand order which he had challenged before the matter was taken to  the Supreme Court.

Last week, the Supreme Court had  extended the house arrest of  all the five activists,including Navlakha, by four weeks and also rejected a plea seeking a special investigation into the case.

The four other arrested are : poet Vara Vara Rao, lawyer Sudha Bhardwaj, activists Arun Ferreira and Vernon Gonsalves. All the five were charged with having  Maoists links complicity in the Bhima-Koregaon blast incident in Maharashtra.
