The Kerala High Court on Thursday granted
bail to the convicts Sister Sephy and Father Thomas Kottoor with the condition to execute bonds of Rs. 5 lakh each and two solvent sureties.
The court also allowed the applications filed by convicts seeking suspension of the life sentence imposed on them in the sensational Sister Abhaya murder case.
If their conviction and sentence were upheld or even modified, the time during which they are so released was to be excluded in computing the term of their sentence as provided in Section 389(4) CrPC.
