Hyderabad:  The Hyderabad High Court on Tuesday granted bail to TDP Lawmaker A Revanth Reddy in the cash-for-vote case.

Justice Raja Elango, who had reserved his order last week, pronounced it on Tuesday.

He directed them to surrender their passports, not to leave the city and to appear before the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) whenever summoned.

A court dealing with ACB cases on Monday extended judicial custody of the accused till July 13.
