Climate activist Disha Ravi, accused in the 2021 “toolkit case”, has moved the Delhi High Court seeking modification of a bail condition requiring her to obtain prior permission from court each time before travelling abroad. The plea challenges the trial court order passed on August 09 rejecting her application to modify the bail condition which reads as “She shall not leave the country without the permission of the court.” The counsel appearing for Ravi submitted that the condition of permission be converted to that of “intimation”. It was also stated that Ravi has travelled abroad frequently in the past two and half years and that she has never violated any bail condition as imposed by the trial court.
