The Madras High Court had granted bail to P. Thamizharasan and V. Bharathi on two conditions. One, erect a flag post in front of their home and hoist the national flag everyday. Two, conduct community service at an orphanage every day for a week. Senior Counsel Ram Jethmalani appeared on behalf of the accused. Justices B. Sudershan Reddy and Deepak Verma set aside the bail condition imposed by the Madras High Court, but held that they shall hoist the national flag everyday for a week.
