(UNI) The Bombay High Court granted bail on humanitarian grounds to alleged naxal sympathiser Sheetal Sathe, who is pregnant and may deliver the child shortly.
Sathe, a singer and an activist of radical musical group 'Kabir Kala Manch', had approached the High Court after a sessions court rejected her bail application earlier this month.
Justice A M Thipsay granted her bail on a personal bond of Rs 30,000 as the prosecution also did not oppose her application.
After being underground for over two years, Sathe and her husband Sachin Mali, had courted arrest outside Mantralaya.
They were arrested by ATS on April 2. Sathe and Mali were declared absconding accused in a case registered in 2011 against 15 people for their alleged role in supporting and funding naxal activities in the state. UNI
