Anti-Modi IAS officer Pradeep Sharma gets bail

December 13, 2011 11:25

Gujarat cadre IAS officer Pradeep Sharma, who is in jail for alleged irregularity in land allotment to private firms, was granted bail by the Supreme Court today. The bail is however conditional -- a bench headed by Justice Aftab Alam said that it passed the order after Sharma, who is in jail for the last 16 months, gives an undertaking that he will be present in the trial court on each hearing and he would report to local police station once in a week.

Sharma has alleged that he was being hassled by Gujarat CM Narendra Modi's men.
