The 11 audio cassettes alleged to be pirated were seized from the shop of which the petitioner is a licensee. 2. Even though the learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application, since this court has granted anticipatory bail to the accused in similar cases, I do not see any justification to treat the petitioner differently. 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 her arrest in connection with the above case on her executing a bond for Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees 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. The petitioner shall make herself available for interrogation as and when required by the Police. BA.101/07 2 2. The petitioner shall not influence or intimidate the prosecution witnesses nor shall she attempt to tamper with the evidence of the prosecution. 3. Petitioner shall not commit any offence while on bail. 4. The petitioner shall surrender before the concerned Magistrate within the above period of one month and seek regular bail. If the petitioner commits breach of any of the above conditions, the bail granted to her shall be liable to be cancelled. This application is allowed as above. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. dsn
