BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SHRI.M.S.BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: K.HEMA, J. ----------------------------------------- B.A.No. 5688 of 2008 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 16th September, 2008 O R D E R This petition is for bail. 2. The alleged offence is under Section 3(2)(e) of PDPP Act. Petitioner is in custody from 31.12.2006 onwards, for the past more than 2 ½ years. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that the petitioner was not able to arrange sureties and hence, he was undergoing custody for such a long period. In three other cases of similar nature he was released on bail. In four other cases he was acquitted. Now the petitioner's mother, who is working as a maid abroad has come back to India and she has arranged local sureties. 3. On hearing both sides, I find that bail can be granted to the petitioner. Hence, bail is granted to the petitioner on his executing a bond for Rs.25,000/- with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the trial court. The petitioner's mother shall also execute a bond for the same amount, whether she is solvent or not. Petition is allowed. K.HEMA, JUDGE vgs.
