Mumbai Court Grants Bail to NCLT Deputy Registrar in Bribery Case
A government official, the NCLT Deputy Registrar, was accused of taking a bribe.
The CBI arrested him for asking a hotel owner for money to help with a legal case.
However, a special court has now allowed him to be released on bail.
The case started because the hotel owner had a dispute with his brothers, and the official allegedly tried to get the case settled in the owner's favor.
The details of why the judge granted bail are still not public.
