However, the court emphasized that the granting of bail in this case should not be considered as a precedent, as it heard the petition filed by the Rajya Sabha MP against his arrest and remand by the probe agency.
The Supreme Court bench stated that Sanjay Singh could also continue with his political activities during the duration of his bail.
A trial court will determine the terms of the AAP leader’s bail.
