NEW DELHI: Rajya Sabha member Mr Amar Singh was today granted interim bail till 19 September on health grounds by a Delhi court hearing the 2008 cash-for-vote case. The 55-year-old former Samajwadi Party leader was granted interim bail by special judge Ms Sangita Dhingra Sehgal. Mr Singh was in judicial custody for nine days. He was arrested on 6 September after he appeared in court after being summoned for his alleged role in the scam. Mr Singh, who had undergone a kidney transplant, was subsequently sent to AIIMS on 12 September following complaints of vomiting and diarrhoea. The court granted him bail on furnishing a personal bond of Rs 2 lakh and a surety of the same amount. "Amar Singh granted interim bail till 19 September," the judge said while directing Mr Singh to submit his passport to the court and not to leave Delhi without its permission. The court is slated to hear Mr Singh's regular bail plea on 19 September.
