Overview

• A division bench of Justices A.S. Gadkari and Rajesh S. Patil approved the temporary release for September 9 to 11.
• The court required a Rs 25,000 cash deposit with Taloja Central Prison and execution of a bond, and it waived escort charges.
• Navi Mumbai Police were directed to provide an escort while Gaichor stays with his father.
• NIA counsel opposed the request but accepted the authenticity of hospital records showing the father's recent admission, and the court noted Gaichor has not seen his father during years of incarceration.
• Gaichor, arrested in September 2020 in the Elgar Parishad case, remains in custody at Taloja with his substantive bail plea pending after a special court rejected temporary relief in July.
