The Supreme Court on Monday granted bail to Umar Ansari, son of late gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari, in a criminal case registered against him during the 2022 assembly elections for alleged violation of the model code of conduct.
A Bench of Justices Hrishikesh Roy and P.K. Mishra asked Umar to appear before the trial court in connection with the case.
On January 25, the top court had granted him protection from arrest in the case.
