Businessman Ballu Khan has been cleared of allegations that he breached his bail conditions by the High Court this afternoon after the Court heard he was not under a 24 hour curfew.
Justice Daniel Goundar Khan this afternoon questioned State prosecutor, Wilisoni Kurusiqila as to whether Khan's fourth bail condition which states that Khan could only leave his residence for a health checkup or to report to the Police Station, applied for 24 hours.
Kurusiqila revealed that the bail applied only from 6am to 6 in the evening and was not a 24 hour curfew.
In ruling, Judge Goundar said he found no breach in the bail condition and therefore Khan should be released. However, Goundar added the same bail conditions that were imposed in January still stands.
After the ruling, Khan said that he was pleased with the outcome of the hearing and would seek legal advice on whether to challenge his arrest.
Khan was arrested at about 1 o'clock this morning by the Police Strike Back team after he went to the Nausori Airport yesterday afternoon to pick some people up.
