Judge Bert Bam also ruled in favor of Pistorius on three other conditions.

1. He no longer has to be regularly supervised by a probation official
   
2. A ban against him drinking alcohol was lifted.
   
3. Bam also slammed one of the bail conditions imposed by another judge, saying that a condition that he would be in breach of his bail if he was accused of another crime against women was "fraud." It went against Pistorius' constitutional right to be innocent until proven guilty, and being accused of a crime should not count against him, Bam said in a ruling that came three hours after the hearing began.
   

Another two restrictions should be disregarded, the judge said.

1. That he was not allowed to return to his house, where he shot Steenkamp dead on Feb. 14
   
2. That had to report regularly to a police station

It meant Pistorius' legal team succeeded in all its appeals. Pistorius' lawyers smiled after the judge ruled in their favor.

Pistorius' next court appearance is June 4, when the prosecution would aim to serve indictments, chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel told the court. Nel said there is a possibility that Pistorius' trial will begin by the end of the year.

They'll be returning the bail bond with interest next .....
