NEW DELHI: Former Delhi University professor S.A.R. Geelani, arrested under sedition charges for organising an event at the Press Club of India to mark the death anniversary of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru, was granted bail by Patiala House courts.
Additional Session Judge, NDPS, Deepak Garg while granting him bail observed that no purpose would be served while keeping him in jail. The court directed him to furnish a bail bond of Rs 50,000 and a surety of like amount.
The court has also asked Mr Geelani not to leave Delhi without and surrender his passport before the court. The court has asked him to make himself available before the probe agency whenever required.
“The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade them from disclosing such facts to the court,” court said.
