NEW DELHI: Supreme Court on Tuesday granted bail to the father of the minor who was alleged to be driving a Porsche car involved in an accident in Pune last year that left two young software engineers dead.

We also note that the appellant herein has been in jail for the last 22 months. The appellant has made out a case for bail. Bail granted subject to terms and conditions to be imposed by the trial court,” the bench said.
