In Brief
A sitting Member of Legislative Assembly (M.L.A.) accused of fraud, cheating, and forgery was granted bail after his bail application before the Sessions Judge was rejected. The High Court released him on bail subject to furnishing cash security of Rs. 6 lakhs, a bail bond of Rs. 2 lakhs with sureties, and strict conditions including non-contact with witnesses, no media statements, and mandatory court appearances. The deposited amount was to be handed to the informant pending trial outcome, and would be refunded if charges were not proven.
