The high court, in its June 14 order, had granted him bail in connection with an assault case. In its order, the court had directed him not to leave the jurisdiction of the trial court without prior permission from the trial court.

Nalapad was arrested for assaulting Vidwath, son of a businessman, at Farzi Cafe, an upscale restaurant in UB City, in February. The court disposed of the petition.
