A division bench comprising Justice Subhrokamal Mukherjee and Justice S S Sadhu granted bail to Agarwal, who has been in custody for 127 days.
Considering that the chargesheet has been submitted and the accused being a lady, was critically unwell, the court felt that further detention of Agarwal was not necessary.

The bench granted her bail prayer on a bail bond of Rs 10,000 and two sureties of like amount and on condition that she would deposit her passport.
She was also directed not to enter the jurisdiction of Shakespeare Sarani, where the property is located, and the neighbouring Park Street police station.
