According to a report published by The Times of India, the Assam Government moved the Supreme Court on October 30, challenging the bail orders granted to singer Amritprava Mahanta and suspended Assam Police officer Sandipan Garg. The Gauhati High Court granted bail to Amritprava Mahanta on October 9 and Sandipan Garg on October 16. Both individuals are among the seven accused in the case. Amritprava Mahanta is facing murder charges, while Sandipan Garg is facing charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. ## Supreme Court proceedings involving Shyamkanu Mahanta Another important development concerns Shyamkanu Mahanta, the organiser of the North East India Festival. On October 5, the Supreme Court heard his bail petition and scheduled the matter for further hearing in the first week of November. A verified final decision on that hearing was not available in the reports reviewed for this article. ## Family seeks stronger legal action On October 28, Zubeen Garg's wife, Garima Garg, submitted a memorandum to Assam Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya, seeking stronger prosecution, challenges to bail orders and an expedited trial. The family also requested better coordination among the prosecution teams and legal representatives handling the case. ## Trial proceedings continue The case is being heard by a special fast-track court in Assam. The legal proceedings involve seven accused, and the allegations against them are yet to be finally determined by the court. The Supreme Court's consideration of the bail challenges and the ongoing trial remain important developments in the family's pursuit of justice. Zubeen Garg's death continues to be a matter of deep public concern across Assam. His fans and supporters are following the legal proceedings while seeking a fair and transparent judicial process. **Source:** The Times of India, October 30, 2026; India Today NE, October 5, 2026.
