His counsel said all defects in his petition pointed out yesterday by the Registry have been rectified and the legal team would press that he was wrongly arrested on the basis of an FIR which was devoid of evidence to book him under such a serious charge.
The counsel said the petition is limited to bail for Kanhaiya who was arrested on February 12.
In the plea, he has also claimed that no case is made out against him as there was no evidence.
Kanhaiya had approached the high court after the Supreme Court yesterday refused to hear his bail petition on the ground that it will set a "dangerous precedent" and had asked him to approach the high court.
