Suspended IAS officer Vinay Kumar Chaubey was granted bail on Tuesday by a court in Ranchi in connection with a liquor scam case.
The decision came after the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) failed to submit the charge sheet within the stipulated period. However, Choubey will remain in jail due to a separate land-related case pending in Hazaribagh.
His lawyer, Devesh Ajmani, cited the Supreme Court's directive that mandates default bail if a charge sheet isn't filed within the prescribed time. Meanwhile, Choubey is undergoing treatment at RIMS. He was required to post personal bonds as part of his bail conditions.
