Deshmukh, however, won't walk out of jail as the high court has kept the order in abeyance for ten days after the CBI sought time to challenge it in the Supreme Court.
Anil Deshmukh, approached the Bombay High Court after a special CBI court rejected his bail plea last month.
Deshmukh sought bail on medical grounds as well as on merits.
The NCP leader has been in jail since November last year after he was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a money laundering case.
In April this year, he was arrested by the CBI in a corruption case. Deshmukh's bail plea in the corruption case was, however, rejected by the special CBI court noting that there was prima facie evidence against him.
