Reliance executives get bail
New Delhi: A Delhi court granted bail to two senior officials of the Reliance group who had been remanded to 14 days judicial custody for alleged violations of the Official Secrets Act, following recovery of some classified documents from Reliance corporate office here in 1998.

Reliance group vice-president A N Sethuraman and corporate affairs general manager Shaker Adawal had been remanded to judicial custody.

Hearing the bail application that was moved minutes after the two were remanded to judicial custody, additional sessions judge R K Gauba said that the two accused would furnish a personal bond of Rs 10 lakh each with two sureties each for an equal amount.

The judge said that the two accused would not tamper with the evidence or try to influence the witnesses by contacting them.

The court barred the two from travelling abroad and directed them to surrender their passport and said that the bail bond would be executed to the satisfaction of the trial court.
