Justice RK Merethia allowed Natarajan's bail plea.

He was placed under suspension a day after two private news channels had on July 31, 2005, showed him in compromising positions with a tribal woman. The 1975 batch IPS officer had been in judicial remand ever since he surrendered on November 6.

The woman had filed an FIR charging Natarajan with rape.
