A single bench of Justice Saran Kotwal sanctioned bail to Rhe at the Bombay High Court. "There are no other criminal antecedents against her. She is not part of the chain of drug dealers. She has not forwarded the drugs allegedly procured by her to somebody else to earn monetary or other benefits. Since she has no criminal antecedents, there are reasonable grounds for believing that she is not likely to commit any offence while on bail," Kotwal noted.
