The Bombay High Court has granted bail to Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) India former CEO Partho Dasgupta who was in Taloja Central Prison for his alleged involvement in the TRP scam.
According to Bar & Bench legal website, bail was granted subject to Dasgupta furnishing a bond of Rs. 2 lakh (Rs. 200,000). As part of the bail conditions, Dasgupta is required to visit the Crime Branch of the Mumbai Police on the first Saturday of every month for six months.
Justice PD Naik had reserved his verdict in Dasgupta’s bail plea two weeks ago. Dasgupta had sought for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) on merits as well as on medical grounds.
On January 22, 2021, Dasgupta’s lawyer Arjun Singh Thakur had moved the High Court at 7 pm to seek urgent intervention in his client’s transfer from JJ Hospital, Mumbai to the Taloja Central Prison after his discharge.
Justice Naik refused to intervene after Chief Public Prosecutor Deepak Thakare assured the Court that the Taloja medical officers would continue treating Dasgupta in accordance with the JJ Hospital discharge note.
