The Saket court on Friday directed the release of Medha Patkar, subject to the furnishing of a probation bond and the deposit of the compensation amount of Rs 1 lakh.
She was produced before the court after arrest pursuant to a non-bailable warrant (NBW) issued against her.
Duty Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Vipin Kharb directed the release of Medha Patkar on furnishing a probation bond and depositing the compensation amount after her counsel submitted before the court that "I, Medha Patkar, was given time until May 3, as per an order passed on April 23."
Advocate Gajinder Kumar, counsel for LG V K Saxena, submitted, "I am not accepting the compensation amount; I will pursue my legal recourse."
