Gandhinagar: An NRI,
accused of committing arson, has been allowed to go to the US by
the Gujarat High Court to keep alive his Green Card status.
A division bench of Justice Ravi Tripathi and Justice P.P. Bhatt
allowed the plea of Mahendra Kumar Patel.
Patel moved the high court after the state filed a criminal appeal
against his acquittal by a sessions court.
The state government's counsel said Patel's presence is required
to ensure that he receives the punishment if the state's appeal is
upheld.
The maximum punishment for the offence under section 436 of the
Indian Penal Code is life imprisonment.
The court said Patel would have to furnish a personal bond of Rs.1
lakh before the trial court, his tour program and a list of the
addresses and contact numbers of places where he is to stay in the
US.
