Petitioner is the accused in Crime No. 183/08 of Mannarkkad Police Station, registered for offence under Section 420 IPC. An application moved before the Sessions Court, Palakkad is seen dismissed vide Annexure-I order on 10.4.2008, but, still the police could not apprehend the petitioner. Without the presence of the petitioner, no considerable progress in the investigation can be made and therefore, this is a fit case where anticipatory bail has to be granted to the petitioner imposing stringent conditions. In the result, allowing this application, I direct that the petitioner shall surrender before the Magistrate concerned positively on or before 13.5.2008 and shall deposit by way of cash security an amount of Rs.3,000/- and shall thereafter BA 2792/08 2 execute bail bond for Rs.20,000/- with two solvent sureties each for like sums to the satisfaction of the Magistrate. On the above conditions being satisfied, the petitioner can be enlarged on bail. On such release, the petitioner shall appear before the Investigating Officer between 10 a.m. and 12 noon on all days for a period of two weeks and thereafter on every alternate days for a period of one month and thereafter on all Tuesdays and Fridays only till the investigation in the case is over and final report is laid. The above directions shall not stand in the way of the Investigating Agency seeking for custodial interrogation of the petitioner, if need be and the Magistrate granting it, if deemed fit, necessary and legal. On release the petitioner shall co-operate with the investigation in the case, shall not get herself involved in commission of any offence, BA 2792/08 3 shall not influence or intimidate the witnesses in the case and shall not, except for the purpose of appearing before the Investigating Officer, move beyond the territorial limits of the town, in which she is having her permanent residence, the details of which shall be furnished to the court and to the Investigating Officer immediately on release on bail. 6th May, 2008 (K.P.Balachandran, Judge) tkv
