The division bench of Justices Aniruddha Bose and Sudhanshu Dhulia said that while the charges against the two accused are serious, that alone cannot be the reason for denying bail.

"Allegations are serious but that does not mean bail cannot be granted. While forming our opinion of granting bail, we noted that he was earlier convicted of offences under 1967 Act. Hence, we propose to impose appropriate conditions while on bail. We set aside impugned order and release the appellant on bail," the Court directed.

The Court imposed the following conditions on the two accused:

- The two appellants shall not leave the state of Maharashtra;

- Both appellant should surrender their passports;

- Both should use only mobile phone each;

- They should inform National Investigation Agency (NIA) officer about the address;

- Mobile number should be shared with NIA and phones should be charged round the clock and location must be on and synced with NIA officer for tracking.

The Court further said that if there is any breach of conditions, it will be open for prosecution to seek cancellation of bail.

Further, if any attempt is made to threaten witnesses, the prosecution can move court to cancel bail, the top court added.

The Supreme Court had in March this year reserved its judgment in the case.
