Justice Dinesh Kumar Paliwal issued the bail order on October 15, highlighting that the conditions would help the accused develop a sense of responsibility towards his country. The Court emphasized the need for the individual to take pride in India, the nation of his birth.
In addition to the flag-saluting requirement, the man must also mark his presence at the Misrod police station in Bhopal every first and fourth Tuesday of the month from 10 A.M. to 12 P.M. until the trial concludes. The Court specified that these conditions should be incorporated into the bail paperwork, ensuring compliance and accountability during the legal proceedings.
