Suva High Court Judge Justice Riyaz Hamza has allowed Kamlesh Arya to travel to Australia between the 10th to the 24th of next month this year.
Arya had made an application for bail variation to travel to Australia and conduct a Vedic prayer for his son who has recently acquired a property.
Justice Hamza says Arya has to deposit $20,000 in the court registry which will be refundable when he is back in the country.
Arya will have to return his passport within one week of return to Fiji.
Justice Hamza has also stated that the Director of Immigration has to be informed that the stop departure order on Arya has to be temporarily lifted from the 10th to the 24th of September.
The matter has been adjourned to the 6th of next month.
It is alleged that Arya whilst being employed in the public service as the Registrar at the University of Fiji, and whilst acting as the School Manager for Bhawani Dayal Memorial Primary School, did arbitrary acts for gain in abuse of the authority of his office, namely authorized loans amounting to $116,500 from the Free Education Grant provided by the Ministry of Education to Bhawani Dayal Memorial Primary School.
It is also alleged that Arya dishonestly caused a risk of loss to Bhawani Dayal Memorial School by authorising the Free Education Grants as loans amounting to $116,500, and knowing that the loss will occur or substantial risk of the loss will occur to Bhawani Dayal Memorial School.
The alleged incident occurred in 2014.
He has pleaded not guilty to his charges.
