Additional Sessions Judge Dharmesh Sharma allowed the bail plea of Salem on a personal bond of Rs one lakh with one surety of the like amount after considering that the other co-accused in the case are already out on bail.
“The main prosecution witnesses have already been examined in this case and only three police officials are to be examined now...in totality of facts and circumstances, accused Abu Salem is granted bail...,” the judge said.
During the hearing on the bail plea, advocate M S Khan, appearing for Salem, told the court that his client is in judicial custody in connection with the extortion case since June 2007 and all the other co-accused have already been granted bail.
