Additional Sessions Judge Dharmender Rana of the Patiala House Court Complex noted in the order that granted bail, "Considering the scanty and sketchy evidence on record, I do not find any palpable reason to deny bail." The order says the evidence on record by the prosecution is not sufficient to keep a 22 year old in custody. The court also noted that Ravi has no criminal antecedents. The Court granted her bail on the condition to furnish personal bond of Rupees One lakh and two sureties of Rupees One Lakh each. The Court did not agree with Ravi's lawyer Advocate Abhinav Sekhri, who made a request for reducing the surety amount as Rs 50,000.

 

The order said, "In my considered opinion creation of a WhatsApp group or being editor of an innocuous Toolkit is not an offence. Further, since the link with the said toolkit or PJF has not been found to be objectionable, mere deletion of the WhatsApp chat to destroy the evidence linking her with the toolkit and PJF also becomes meaningless. Further, it is rightly pointed out by Ld Defence Counsel that the protest march was duly permitted by the Delhi police therefore there is nothing wrong in co-­accused Shantanu reaching Delhi to attend the protest march. Still further, the attempt to conceal her identity seems to be nothing more than an anxious effort to stay away from unnecessary controversies."
