The bench of Chief Justice Sunil Suryakant and Justice Joymaly Bagchi noted that the professor faces two other cases, including harassment allegations involving female students and objectionable online comments. Considering he spent over six months in jail, the court approved bail on the condition that he attends all hearings.

Earlier, the court had described him as “perverted” and a “threat to young girls,” emphasizing he should not enter the college premises. The professor’s lawyer told the court that he had apologized and removed the post that led to his arrest on May 16.

The Supreme Court directed the Assam government to maintain his suspension from the college pending other cases.

Justice MR Mengdey approved the plea filed by the tribal leader, who has been in jail since July. Vasava allegedly attacked the Dediapada taluka panchayat president during a meeting in his constituency. He approached the High Court after a sessions court in Rajpipla rejected his bail request. Earlier, he received three-day temporary bail to attend the State Assembly’s monsoon session.

The lower court had noted his past offences, including a six-month jail sentence in 2023 for voluntarily causing hurt. Vasava faces multiple charges under the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, including attempt to murder, criminal intimidation, intentional insult, damage to property, and insulting the modesty of a woman.

According to the FIR, Vasava became agitated when his nominee was not selected for a local coordination committee. He allegedly hurled a mobile phone at the taluka president, causing injuries, and tried to attack him with a glass, which police prevented.

The bail order allows Vasava temporary freedom while restricting his entry into Dediapada for a year. The court emphasized compliance with the conditions as part of granting bail.
