“Accordingly the petitioner’s arrest not in accordance with law and not in compliance with section 41 A of criminal procedure code,” a division bench of Justice Revati Mohite-Dere and Justice Prithviraj K Chavan held, news agency ANI reported.

The Kochhars, held in the Videocon loan fraud case, will be released on a cash bail of Rs 1 lakh each, and will have to cooperate with the CBI.
