Jawaharlal Nehru University professor Atul Johri, who was arrested for sexual harassment of several women students was on Tuesday granted bail by a Delhi court. Duty magistrate Ritu Singh granted bail to Johri and directed him to furnish a bail bond of Rs 30,000 for each of the eight first information reports registered against him. It is settled proposition of the law that bail, not jail is the rule except where the circumstances are suggestive of fleeing of accused from justice or thwarting the cause of justice or repetition of offences said the court. It took into account the fact that the statement of the complainant had already been recorded by a judicial magistrate.
