Suspended cricketer Ankeet Chavan, was on Thursday granted interim bail for a week by a city court to solemnise his marriage, which is scheduled for June 2.
"By denying the accused to take bail and get married on the fixed date, not only he, but also the would-be bride's family would suffer due to no fault of their own," said Additional Sessions Judge Vinay Kumar Khanna while granting interim bail to Chavan, with a condition that he will have to surrender on June 6.
He was granted bail on furnishing a personal bond of `1 lakh and two sureties of like amount. The court directed him to surrender his passport, not to make any direct or indirect inducement to any person related to the case and also not to leave the country.
