The Bombay High Court has suspended the two-year jail term and granted bail to Vijay Kokate, brother of former minister Manikrao Kokate, in a 1995 document tampering case. This case involves the alleged fraudulent acquisition of a government flat. The court's decision mirrors a previous order for Manikrao Kokate, whose conviction was stayed by the Supreme Court. Vijay Kokate was sentenced for submitting false income affidavits and other documents.
