The Delhi High Court granted interim bail to a practising advocate accused of orchestrating a Rs 100 crore Ponzi scheme involving multiple fraud cases across North India.

The court noted the admission process was underway and that the presence of both parents was not mandatory. Bail was granted on a personal bond and surety.
