The court told Panigrahi that he will be granted bail by the lower court if he fulfils the above conditions.

Pradeep was arrested by the Crime Branch in December last year for allegedly collecting money in the name of providing jobs in a private company on behalf of Akash Kumar Pathak, son of suspended Forest officer Abhay Kant Pathak.

Despite obtaining the bail, he, however, will not be able to walk out of Jharpada Special Jail as two more cases are pending against him.

Of six cases, he has obtained bail in four.
