Sukesh Chandrashekhar Granted Bail Earlier This Year

Earlier in April, a Delhi court granted bail to Sukesh Chandrashekhar in the Rs 200 crore money laundering case. While allowing the plea, the court observed that keeping an accused behind bars for an excessively prolonged period infringes upon the fundamental rights to personal liberty and a speedy trial.

The court further noted that continued detention without substantial progress in the trial process runs contrary to the principles of justice. Based on those observations, Chandrashekhar was granted bail subject to specified conditions, according to ANI.
