Just in: Interim bail for Teesta Setalvad and her husband Javed Anand to continue.

A special CBI court in Mumbai has adjourned the verdict on the bail plea of activist Teesta Setalvad and her husband Javed Anand till July 24. A case has been filed against their firm for allegedly receiving around $2.9 lakh in foreign donations in violation of Foreign Contribution Regulation Act.

The couple had on Monday appeared before the central probe agency on three consecutive days since Saturday pursuant to Friday's directive of CBI special judge Anis Khan, who had reserved his order on their anticipatory bail applications till today while granting them interim protection from arrest.

The CBI, which registered a case on July 8 against Sabrang Communication and Publishing Pvt Limited, has alleged that SCPPL was not registered under FCRA for collecting money from abroad and the amount of nearly Rs 1.8 crore was, therefore, received in violation of the Act as the organisation needed to seek prior approval of the Union home ministry.
