"In view of the facts and
circumstances of the case and considering the medical report of the
appellant/applicant, the applicant's sentence shall be suspended for a period
of six weeks," Justice Siddharth Mridul said while granting the interim
bail.
78-year-old Chautala, chief of
Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), along with 54 others, is serving jail term in
the 2000 teachers' recruitment scam.
The court asked Mr Chautala to
furnish a personal bond of Rs. five lakh along with two sureties of like amount
before the trial court as a pre-condition for his release on bail.
It also asked the former
Haryana Chief Minister to surrender his passport with the trial court, besides
asking him not to leave the National Capital Region without prior permission of
the court.
It also asked Chautala to get
himself admitted at Medanta Medicity within 24 hours of his release on bail for
undergoing the surgery.
The court, however, gave
liberty to CBI to seek cancellation of his bail if any condition imposed is
violated by Chautala.
"It goes without saying
that CBI will have the liberty to apply for cancellation of bail if any
condition is being violated by the appellant/applicant," Justice Mridul
said.
The court, however, disallowed
the submission of CBI that Chautala be restrained from addressing any press
conference during the period of bail.
"How can this court
curtail the fundamental right of a citizen. I don't wish to comment on it. If
you persist with it (arguments), then it seems it is not coming from CBI,"
the court observed during the hearing without elaborating.

There is no real reason to rejoice for his supporters, really! Mr Chautala is in jail for criminal/corruption case (not a political case) and this 6 weeks bail is for him to seek medical treatment. The court has asked Mr Chautala to submit his passport ( not a pleasant situation for him).
