The Supreme Court has provided interim bail to activist Mahesh Raut, implicated in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case, for a two-week period. The bail allows Raut to partake in rituals following his grandmother's death.

A vacation bench, including justices Vikram Nath and S V N Bhatti, pronounced that the interim bail will start on June 26 and conclude on July 10. Raut's legal team had sought bail for rituals expected to occur on June 29-30 and July 5-6.

Raut, who has been in custody since June 2018, will have his release conditions set by a special court, with the National Investigation Agency (NIA) permitted to request stringent conditions.
