Chisti, 80, is serving a life term after his conviction in January last year. He was granted bail on humanitarian grounds but the order is yet to be received by the trial court. "We will go to the fast track court tomorrow after the order is received," said Jamil Chisti.
After spending over 14 months in jail, 80-year-old ailing Pakistani scientist Mohammed Khalil Chisti was on Wednesday released on bail from Ajmer jail in a two-decade-old murder case and said he wanted to return to his homeland soon.
Justice P Sathasivam was on Friday sworn in as the 40th Chief Justice of India by President Pranab Mukherjee.
