IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY VP H CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION No. 700 OF 2009 Tariq Naved Siddiqui ... Petitioner Vs Dilip Suryavanshi & Ors. ... Respondents Mr. S. R. Chitnis and V. S. Kotwal, for the petitioner. Mrs. U. V. Kejariwal, APP for the Respondent-State CORAM : BILAL NAZKI, AND F. M. REIS, JJ. DATED: MARCH 26, 2009. P.C.: ---- 1. Only a show-cause notice has been issued on 10th February 2009, calling to explain as to why he should not be asked to give a bond with two sureties of Rs.5,000/- for keeping peace. We do not find there any ground at this stage to interfere, because only a show-cause notice has been issued and sufficient time has been given to the petitioner to explain the petitioner. After the petitioner explains the position, the respondent shall pass an order, taking into consideration all the defences taken. 2. There appears to be an error in the order when the Magistrate has issued a notice under Section 113 Cr.P.C. and asked the petitioner to show cause and in - 2 - case of failure of showing the cause, he will be asked to give a bond for a period of two years to maintain peace and good behaviour. The law permits only taking of bond only for a period of one year and not for two years. The Magistrate shall make necessary amendments in the order. Writ petition is accordingly disposed of.
