The Bombay High Court on December 19 granted bail to activist Gautam Navlakha, arrested in the Elgar Parishad-Maoist links case.
A division bench headed by Justice A S Gadkari said Navlakha's plea seeking bail was "allowed".
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) urged the court to stay operation of the order for a period of six weeks so that it could file an appeal in the Supreme Court. The bench stayed the order for three weeks.
