The Jharkhand High Court granted bail to Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) MLA Shashi Bhushan Samad on Thursday.
The bench of Justice Anand Sen, while hearing the bail petition filed by Samad, directed that the MLA be released only after he deposited Rs one lakh to the Kerala Flood Relief Fund.
The police had arrested the MLA after he allegedly beat up a teacher at Chakradharpur in West Singhbhum district while enforcing closure of a school during the JMM-sponsored bandh on August 5 this year.
