The Jharkhand High-Court has approved the anticipatory bail petitions of three-people on the condition that they deposit money in the Kerala Chief-Minister's Relief Fund. Justice Singh granted anticipatory-bail to one Utpal Ray in a cheating and forgery-case on the condition that he would deposit Rs 7,000 in the relief fund. Dhaneswar-Mandal and Sambhu-Mandal were also similarly admitted at the cost of Rs 5,000 each.

The Dindoshi Sessions court has rejected the anticipatory bail application of a 29-year-old man on the grounds that the man who assaulted his wife while she was pregnant does not deserve any relief. The court held that the other factor for denial of relief was that the man was already married and the victim was not aware of the same, thus she was cheated.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor was on Thursday granted anticipatory bail by a Delhi court in his wife Sunanda Pushkar death case on the surety of Rs 1 lakh. However, the court has directed Tharoor to not leave the country without its permission. Delhi Police had charged the Congress MP with abetment to suicide and cruelty in the case.
