                     Dated this the 9th day of February, 2007


                                        O R D E R

In this Petition filed under Sec. 438 Cr.P.C. the petitioner,

who is the accused in Crime No.9/2007 of Irrikur Police Station for

offences punishable under Section 292 I.P.C. and Section 52A read with

section 68A of the Indian Copyright Act, 1957, seeks anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that on 6.1.2007 four pirated

CDs were seized by the police party from the shop of the petitioner.

3. Eventhough the learned Public Prosecutor opposed the

application in as much as this court has granted bail in similar matters, I

see no reason why the petitioner should be treated differently.

4. Accordingly, a direction is issued to the officer-in-charge of

the police station concerned to release the petitioner on bail for a period

of one month in the event of his arrest in connection with the above

case on his executing a bond for Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand

only) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the

satisfaction to the said officer and subject to the following conditions:

a. Petitioner shall report before the

Investigating Officer between 9 a.m. and 11

a.m. on all Wednesdays.

BA.774/07

2

b. The petitioner shall make himself available

for interrogation as and when required by the

Investigating Officer.

c. The petitioner shall not influence or

intimidate the prosecution witnesses nor shall

he attempt to tamper with the evidence for the

prosecution.

d. Petitioner shall not commit any offence

while on bail.

e. Petitioner shall surrender before the

Magistrate concerned and seek regular bail in

the meanwhile.

If the petitioner commits breach of any of the above conditions,

the bail granted to him shall be liable to be cancelled.

This application is allowed as above.

(V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE)
