Bengaluru, Apr 24 (UNI): Karnataka High Court today granted conditional bail to Kampli Congress MLA J N Ganesh who was accused of allegedly attacking his fellow party MLA Ananda Singh in a resort in the city, after he spent over 90 days in judicial custody.
The Single Bench Judge Justice B A Patil granted bail to Ganesh asking him to present Rs two lakh personal bond and two sureties of equal amount.
After the incident Ganesh went missing for nearly one month and was arrested from a hotel in Ahmadabad in Gujarat by the State police and procured before a court here on February 20. He was in judicial custody since then.
Ganesh would released from Central Jail at Parappana Agrahara today or tomorrow.
