The Bombay high court granted conditional bail of Rs 1,00,000 to former Maharashtra minister Anil Deshmukh after he spent nearly 13 months in jail custody in alleged corruption cases, on Monday. Deshmukh, however, won't walk out of jail as the high court has kept the order in abeyance for ten days after the CBI sought time to challenge it in the Supreme Court. A single bench of Justice M S Karnik had reserved the order on the plea last week after both sides completed their arguments. Deshmukh, 74, approached the HC after a special CBI court rejected his bail plea last month. He sought bail on medical grounds as well as on merits. The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader has been in jail since November last year after he was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case.
