The court granted them the relief after they appeared before it and sought bail on the ground that they have joined the investigation and there was no apprehension that they would flee from justice.

Apart from Jindal, Rao and Koda, the court granted bail to former Coal Secretary Harish Chandra Gupta and six others on furnishing of a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh each and a surety of like amount.

Special CBI Judge Bharat Parashar directed the accused not to leave the country without the court�s prior permission and fixed the matter for June 1 for scrutiny of documents.
