New Delhi: A day after his conviction in the Jessica Lall murder case, accused Amardeep Singh Gill alias Tony on Tuesday moved an application in the Delhi High Court seeking bail.

Gill – who was convicted under sections 201 (destruction of evidence) and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) – is likely to be present in the court on Wednesday when his plea is likely to be heard by the Division Bench of Justice R S Sodhi and Justice P K Bhasin.

In the bail application, Gill stated that all the offences under these sections were bailable under the law and that he was entitled to a bail.

He also stated that he has two school-going children and parents to take care of.

The Delhi High Court while delivering the verdict said both Gill and co-accused Vikas Yadav had removed the black Tata Safari car - which Manu had abandoned in the parking area - after shooting Jessica at Qutub Colonnade restaurant on April 29,1999.

The court also fixed Wednesday, to hear the arguments from both prosecution and defence on the quantum of sentence.
