NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court has granted 45 days of interim bail to an accused in a murder case to enable him to take care of his ailing wife and three minor children.

In its order, a single-judge Bench of Justice Girish Kathpalia observed that the interim bail was sought for a limited period of 45 days on the ground that the applicant’s wife was required to undergo marsupialisation — a surgical procedure for treating vaginal cysts.

Allowing the application, Justice Kathpalia took note of the submission that the accused’s wife has custody of their three minor children and that there would be nobody to look after them during her surgery.
