Graft case: Justice Quddusi granted bail by Delhi court

New Delhi: The Tis Hazari court today granted bail to retired Chhattisgarh High Court judge Ishrat Masroor Quddusi in an alleged medical college corruption case.

Special Judge Manoj Jain granted bail to Quddusi on a personal bond of Rs one lakh and a surety of a like amount.

Quddusi is currently in Tihar jail from where he will be released.

Another accused, Bhawna Pandey, was also granted interim bail for one week.
