DATED: FEBRUARY 5, 2007
O R D E R
Petitioner who is the accused in Crime No.22/2007 of Adoor Police
Station for offencess punishable under secs.51, 52A and 63 read with sec.68 of
the Copyright Act, 1967, seeks anticipatory bail.
2. Even though the learned Public Prosecutor opposed the
application, having regard to the fact that this court has granted anticipatory bail
to persons similarly situated, I see no reason why the petitioner should be
treated differently.
3. 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/- (Ten thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like
amount to the satisfaction of the said officer and subject to the following
conditions:-
1. Petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer between 9
a.m. and 11 a.m. on all Wednesdays.
2. Petitioner shall make himself available for interrogation as and
when required by the Investigating Officer.
3. Petitioner shall not influence or intimidate the prosecution
witnesses nor shall he attempt to tamper with the evidence for
the prosecution.
Bail A.No.639/2007 -:2:-
4. Petitioner shall not commit any offence while on bail.
5. 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.
