Mumbai: Former Maharashtra Minister Anil Deshmukh was released from jail as he walked out of jail after 14 months on Wednesday.
His advocate Aniket Nikam said CBI had moved another application yesterday for extension of stay on order granting him bail.
“Yesterday one more application was moved on behalf of CBI seeking further extension of the stay order. The application was rejected by the High Court,” Nikam said.
According to the conditions imposed by the court, Deshmukh cannot leave the jurisdiction of Mumbai without the prior approval of the trial court and must cooperate with the investigation.
While speaking after his release he added that “Param Bir Singh, in an affidavit submitted in court, stated that accusations made against Anil Deshmukh were based on hearsay, he had no evidence against me.”
Anil Deshmukh was granted conditional bail by the Bombay High Court on December 12 on a bond of Rs 1 lakh but the CBI filed an application for a stay order to challenge it in the Supreme Court which was granted by Bombay High Court. A stay of 10 days was granted, and later it was extended till December 27.
