Interim bail on health grounds granted for a limited period, with surrender conditions and liberty to seek fresh bail later.

The SC declined to interfere with the High Court's impugned order, but granted the petitioner interim bail for four weeks on health grounds. The relief was made subject to regular appearance before the Trial Court and surrender by the specified date. The Court also reserved liberty to seek fresh bail before the Trial Court if the trial did not proceed at a reasonable pace, and disposed of the special leave petition on those terms.
