The Bombay High Court on September 30 temporarily stayed the bail granted a day earlier to dismissed police officer Sachin Waze in the Antilia explosives scare and Mansukh Hiran murder case. UNI reported that Justices Girish Kulkarni and Neela Gokhale issued notice to Waze while taking up the National Investigation Agency’s challenge.

ANI’s September 30 dispatch independently confirmed the temporary stay and said the matter would next be heard on October 7. The new direction changes the immediate effect of the special court’s September 29 ruling: that bail order cannot take effect while the High Court’s stay operates. The appeal has not been finally decided.

The special NIA court had granted conditional bail after assessing the prosecution material at the bail stage. Its September 29 signed order, previously examined by Asal Sach, required a personal bond, a surety and restrictions intended to protect the trial. Those findings did not amount to an acquittal or end the prosecution.

The case concerns an explosives-laden vehicle found near Mukesh Ambani’s Mumbai residence in February 2021 and the subsequent death of Hiran. Waze was arrested in March 2021. The allegations remain subject to trial. The latest reports establish the interim stay and next hearing date; they do not establish a final High Court ruling on whether bail should be granted.
