The Madras High Court today granted interim anticipatory bail to former Telecom minister Dayanidhi Maran, prime accused in the illegal telephone exchange case.

Justice R Subbiah granted bail for six weeks, on the condition that Maran appears before the CBI tomorrow and cooperate with the agency in the investigation to the case.
