The district court here today granted interim bail to Thane District Jail Superintendent Hiralal Jadhav, accused of molestation by a lady police constable.
Jadhav has moved the court seeking a pre-arrest bail.
District judge M M Walimohammad today granted him interim bail upto September 9, when the prosecution will file its reply.
Pending the inquiry, the state Government yesterday suspended Jadhav.
Thane police registered a case of molestation under section 354 of IPC against Jadhav on August 31.
Advocate Anil Navle, Jadhav's lawyer, argued that the offence was bailable. He also contended that there was no case of sexual harassment, as reported by the media.
Jadhav was framed up because he took action against some erring jail staff, he said.
