Further Sessions Satish Kumar was granted bail by Judge Amitabh Rawat of the Karkardooma Court in exchange for a personal bond in the amount of $15,000 and a surety bond in the same amount. The court observed, ‘Accused is a member of Karkardooma Bar Association, Delhi and a lawyer, It is expected of a Bar Member/an advocate to act with professionalism and dignity while conducting relations with public officials.’
The court expressed its grave concern by stating ‘The act of the accused has belittled the institution of the Bar and the counsel for the accused appearing in the court have expressed their belief that act of the accused was not proper, though it was a result of the scuffle on account of police official HC Prakash, who was drunk in the police station.’
