The Bombay High Court Monday granted bail to an accused in the Aurangabad arms haul case of 2006, making it the first bail in seven years to any of the accused.
Javed Ahmed Abdul Majid Ansari, who had allegedly helped a co-accused for parking a vehicle laden with arms and ammunition, secured bail, said his lawyer Sharif Shaikh.
The bail order with several conditions in it was delivered by Justice Abhay Thipsay through video-conferencing from the Aurangabad bench of the Bombay High Court.
The matter had been earlier argued before Justice Thipsay while he was posted in Mumbai, and later during pendency of the case, he was transferred to Aurangabad.
