The court noted that out of five years' jail awarded to Lalu, he has already undergone one year of the sentence in two phases, which included incarceration for 10 months during the course of trial and another two months since he was convicted and sentenced to jail.
The apex court has left it to the Ranchi trial court to decide on the conditionalities to be imposed on Lalu before he is released on bail.
