Petitioner is the 3rd accused in a crime No.100/2007 of Nileshwar Police Station. The said crime along with many other similar crimes is being investigated by a special team of investigators constituted by the Government. The crux of the allegation is that the accused persons were running a Kuri by name “Vairajathan Kuri “and had committed the offence of cheating. In the instant crime, that is Crime No.100/2007 of Nileshwar Police Station, the petitioner was arrested on 9.10.07. He is admittedly one of the employees of the said Kuri Company, it is submitted. The petitioner continues in custody from 9.10.07. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner prays, the learned Public Prosecutor does not oppose the said prayer and I am satisfied that the petitioner can now be released on bail, subject of course to appropriate conditions. 3. In the result, this petition is allowed. The petitioner shall be released on bail on the following terms and conditions: B.A.No.6796 of 2007 2 i) The petitioner shall execute a bond for Rs.25,000/- (Rupees twenty five thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate. ii) The petitioner shall make himself available for interrogation before the investigating officer on all Mondays for a period of one month.
