a Nigerian student, who allegedly cheated people by sending false
messages stating that they had won a lottery and making them deposit
money on the pretext of collecting charges for transferring the prize
money.
While granting the bail, Justice Anand Byrareddy observed, “When the accused is in the judicial custody, the trial has to be conducted on av day-to-day basis and should completed within the stipulated period of 60 days.”
“As there is a undue delay, the accused shall be released on bail and is directed to attend the proceedings of the court whenever the court directs him to do so besides following all the bail conditions.”
The court also directed the lower court to expedite the hearing in the case in accordance with the law.
Ufendu, a Nigerian student studying in Delhi, had allegedly sent a message to Chandana, a resident of Bangalore, stating that she had won crores of rupees in a lottery and convinced her to deposit `22 lakh for transferring the prize money.
After realising that she was cheated by some unknown people, Chandana filed a police case and Ufendu was arrested.

The High Court on Thursday allowed the petition filed by Munireddy, who was accused along with former Bangalore Urban DC M K Aiyappa and others for transferring 32 acres and 4 guntas of government land at Madappanahalli, to quash the case against him on the ground that the government sanction was not obtained to book cases against the public servants.
