Criminal Court has ordered that Haleemath Lamha, accused in the murder case of Filipino nurse Mary Grace, has been released on conditional bail from state custody.

Mary's husband, Marvin S. Y. Vargas, and Haleemath Lamha, who were both nurses at the same hospital are charged with the murder of Mary in October 2021. While Marvin faces charges of murder with intent, Lamha is accused of being an accomplice.

Lamha was granted conditional bail by the Criminal Court late last year after being held in custody for an extended period.

The state appealed the decision to the High Court, which ruled that Lamha's release was incorrect and ordered her to be remanded in custody. Lamha, who remains remanded pending the outcome of the trial, had her bail reviewed by the Criminal Court last month.

Criminal Court today decided that Lamha be granted bail following her request to be released as the trial has been delayed for a long time.

Lamha was granted bail on the condition that she do not leave Male', not to leave her home after a certain time and to appear before the court when informed.

While Lamha has been granted bail, Marvin remains in state custody.
