Granting the bail, Justice C.T.Selvam directed Pandian to sign in the Coutralam Police Station for a week daily.
Police had registered the case on a complaint from N Tamilarasi, whose family members also belonged to DMK, that Pandian had sexually harassed her at his bungalow in Coutralam on August 28 last.
The Judge said section 506 (2) of Tamilnadu Prohibition of Women's Harassment Act will not apply to the charges against Pandian.
"The particular section could be invoked only if the person misbehaved with a woman in a public place. Here the incident is reported to have happened in a room. The complainant had alleged that the former MLA had tried to misbehave with her in a room. There was no proof that the girl had been threatened. Hence bail was being granted," the Judge said.
The woman alleged that Pandian misbehaved with her, sexually harassed her and attempted to seduce her into submission,and on being resisted, she was threatened.
Pandian denied the allegations and said they were politically motivated.
