Dated this the 26th day of March 2008
O R D E R
This is the third application for regular bail. The petitioner
is the fifth accused and he faces allegations inter alia under
Section 394 I.P.C. The petitioner continues in custody in this
crime from 01/01/2008. The two earlier applications for regular
bail filed by the petitioner was dismissed as per orders dated
18/2/2008 in B.A.No.831/08 and 11/03/2008 in
B.A.No.1522/2008. I have adverted to facts in detail in the order
dated 16/11/2007 referred above. It is not necessary for me to
advert to facts in any greater detail in this order. This order
must be read in continuation of the said order.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner prays, the
learned Public Prosecutor does not oppose the said prayer on
condition that the investigating officer is given the full
complement of sixty days to complete the investigation and I am
satisfied that regular bail can be granted to the petitioner
subject to appropriate conditions. The learned Public Prosecutor
submits that there is no prospect of the final report being filed
prior to 01/04/2008.
B.A.No.1923/08 2
3. In the result, this petition is allowed. The petitioner
shall be released on bail on the following terms and conditions:
i) The petitioner shall not be released on bail on the
strength of this order prior to 01/04/2008. The investigating
officer shall, in the meantime, make every endeavour to
complete the investigation.
ii) He shall execute a bond for Rs.1,00,000/-
(Rupees one lakh only) with two solvent sureties each for the
like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate.
iii) The petitioner shall make himself available for
interrogation before the investigating officer between 10 a.m
and 12 noon on all Mondays and Fridays, for a period of two
months from the date of his release and thereafter as and when
directed by the investigating officer in writing to do so.
