While enlarging on the terms of her bail, Additional Sessions Judge Pawan Kumar Jain, restrained Gupta from leaving Delhi without prior permission from the court. The court also warned her against trying to contact any prosecution witness in the case.
The judge, who had on January 7, charged her with offences entailing a three year jail term upon being convicted, released her on bail on a personal bond of Rs 25,000 and surety of same amount. The court, though, granted her bail on the plea that she had already spent over 21 months in jail, while the offences for which she had been charged with carried a maximum jail term of three years on being found guilty.
She also submitted that the Criminal Procedure Code provides for leniency in grant of bail to women.
Gupta, 53, was arrested on April 22, 2010 by Special Cell of Delhi Police when she was called from Islamabad for a meeting.

Spying is age old game.People do it for varied reasons,to understand one has to have handle on human nature and emotions,woman,think because of their gender,they make good spy,and they are hard to catch,this one took also long time,but the damaze is done.The other day I was watching"perfect terrorist" on david Gillani,the Mumbai casing spy,you have to admire his handlers and his trainning,but it also exposes the total unpreparedness of his victim,you almost feel sorry for the poor people who lay dead on street.,who depended on the state for their safety,my symathy also extend to all those who die on account of terrorist strike in Pakitan When will this mahem take a break?not in near future.good day.
