Coram : R.M. Borde, J. Dated : 22 nd July, 2010 The applicant/accused is raising exception to the order passed by the learned 2 nd Judicial Magistrate First Class, Deulgaonraja, on 3-7-2010 in Criminal Case No.88 of 2007 – so far as it imposes conditions on the applicant/accused to deposit his passport and not to leave the country without prior permission of the Court. The applicant/accused is being prosecuted for commission of offences punishable under Sections 418 and 500 of the Indian Penal Code. The complainant is the son-in-law of the applicant/accused. While directing the release of the applicant/accused on bail, the learned Magistrate has imposed the conditions as referred to above. It is contended that the applicant/accused is serving in Saudi Arabia and he has to report at the place of service within six months from the date of his entry in India. If the conditions imposed by the learned Magistrate are maintained, the applicant/accused is likely to lose his job. In these circumstances, it is urged to relax condition Nos.3 and 4 of the impugned order. 2 I have perused the application as well as the impugned order passed by the learned Magistrate. The ends of justice would be met if the learned Magistrate is directed to decide the pending criminal case within three months from today. In the event of failure of the learned Magistrate to decide the criminal case within the stipulated period, the request of the applicant/accused to permit him to leave the country with a view to resume his duties and return of passport shall be considered by the learned Magistrate positively. The learned Magistrate is directed accordingly. With the above-referred directions, the application stands disposed of. Judge. pdl.
