What did the court decide?
Regular bail granted subject to conditions: personal bond of Rs. 1,00,000 with two sureties; regular appearance before trial court; no witness tampering; no similar offences; restriction on leaving jurisdiction; weekly attendance at Tunga Nagar Police Station for one year.
