Last month the Jamshedpur Jesuit Province (JJP) had requested the high court that Mascarenhas be considered as Swamy`s next-of-kin and allowed to challenge observations made by the lower court while rejecting Swamy`s bail plea in the Elgar Parishad case

Father Frazer Mascarenhas, an associate of late Jesuit priest Stan Swamy, has approached the Bombay High Court seeking to clear Swamy`s name in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case.
In a petition filed through senior counsel Mihir Desai on Thursday, Mascarenhas, former principal of city-based St Xavier`s College, also sought that the court monitor the judicial inquiry into Swamy`s custodial death.
