Hardik Patel was granted anticipatory bail in April last year in a case of rioting outside a BJP corporator’s house in Ramol. The state government had sought cancellation of Hardik’s anticipatory bail on the ground that he had violated the bail condition and entered Ramol on January 3 this year.

An Ahmedabad civil court on Monday dismissed the Gujarat government’s application seeking cancellation of Patidar quota leader Hardik Patel’s anticipatory bail.
