Bombay High Court grants bail to Sachin Waze in corruption case involving Anil Deshmukh, remaining in judicial custody.
The Bombay High Court on Tuesday (October 22, 2024) granted bail to dismissed police officer Sachin Waze bail in a corruption case also involving former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh.
A division bench headed by Justice M.S. Sonak granted bail to Waze and said the conditions for the same shall be set by the special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court.
The dismissed police officer will, however, continue to remain in jail as he is in judicial custody in the Antilia bomb scare case lodged by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
Waze, who is presently in judicial custody, had sought to be released on bail claiming that he is an approver in the case, and on the grounds of parity as well as citing that the other accused in the case are out on bail.
Waze's counsel Aabad Ponda had said keeping him in jail even after he was declared as an approver was violation of fundamental rights.
The CBI had opposed the plea stating that Waze had not deposed in the case so far and it would not be in the best interest of the case to release him on bail.
He was declared an approver by the special CBI court in June 2022.
