A division bench of justices Ashim Kumar Roy and M M Banerjee granted the bail to Ghosh on a prayer by the Rajya Sabha MP.
    
The court, however, refused to modify or ease the conditions which had been imposed on Ghosh while granting interim bail to him on October 5.
    
The bench had granted interim bail to Ghosh, who headed the Saradha Group's media business till November 11, on a bail bond of Rs 2 lakh.
