The Bombay High Court on Monday granted bail to former Maharashtra home minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Anil Deshmukh in a corruption case lodged by the CBI.
The bench directed that Deshmukh be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh along with sureties of like amount and asked him to cooperate with the probe. After the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) sought a stay on effect of the bail order to approach the Supreme Court, the high court said the order will be effective after ten days.
