HC reprieve for Haveliwala

Haveliwala had got bail in the case on April 1,2010 and the FRRO order came on April 12,2010,apprehending that she might evade trial. Her lawyer told the court that she had been abiding by the conditions imposed on her and she,being a beautician,needed to travel in the city for her work. Justices BH Marlapalle and UD Salvi noted that the lower court had given her permission to travel abroad.
