The family of Pradyuman Thakur, the 7-year-old who was killed in Ryan International, will be approaching the Supreme Court on Monday challenging the bail granted to Pintos, the three trustees of the school.

Ryan Pinto, and his parents, Augustine Pinto and Grace Pinto were granted anticipatory bail by the Punjab and Haryana High Court on November 21 in connection with the murder that took place in the Gurugram school. 

The single bench of Justice Surinder Gupta also imposed various conditions while granting bail to the group CEO, Ryan Pinto, and his parents, founding chairman Augustine Pinto and managing director Grace Pinto. 

The court while granting the bail had said that the Pintos will not try to influence the witnesses, tamper with any evidence or leave the country without permission of the court. 

They were also told that they need to present themselves before the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for interrogation whenever asked by the agency. 

Earlier on October 7 also, the high court had granted interim bail to the three trustees. 

Class 2 student Pradhuman Thakur was found with his throat slit in the school washroom in Gurugram on September 8.
