The BJP's CT Ravi was arrested following a complaint by the Congress' Lakshmi Hebbalkar - that he used objectionable language targeting her on the House.
Karnataka BJP leader CT Ravi - arrested for allegedly making derogatory remarks against a woman Congress lawmaker in Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's cabinet - was given interim bail Friday evening.
"Release him immediately... wherever he is," the High Court said, noting Mr Ravi was not served notice before his arrest. The protocol states the cops should have done so before questioning and detaining him over a complaint filed by Women and Child Development Minister Lakshmi Hebbalkar.
"... a false case was filed against me and they (the Congress) treated me like a terrorist. Now let them introspect (on) what have they done. This is a win for the truth... the order is a clear message that we must all follow the law. There was no proof (but still) I was arrested," Mr Ravi said.
