The Bombay High Court on Wednesday granted anticipatory bail to BJP leader Kirit Somaiya and his son in a case of alleged misappropriation of public money collected for the restoration decommissioned naval aircraft carrier Vikrant.

A single bench of Justice Bharati Dangre allowed the plea of Somaiyas for anticipatory bail in the case and made "absolute" the interim protection from arrest granted by the HC to the duo on April 13 this year.
