The accused are alleged to have cheated the de facto complainant by getting overseas employment in a Company which was closed soon after the commencement of service. 2. In as much as the case is originated on a private complaint filed and the de facto complainant was able to secure employment through the petitioners, although the same did not last long, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, a direction is issued to the officer-in-charge of the police station concerned to release petitioners on bail for a period of one month in the event of their arrest in connection with the above case on each of them executing a bond for Rs.10,000/- with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the said officer and subject to the following conditions: 1. 2nd petitioners shall report before the Investigating Officer between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on all Wednesdays. B.A.NO. Page numbers 2. Petitioners shall make themselves available for interrogation as and when required by the Investigating Officer. 3. Petitioners shall not influence or intimidate the prosecution witnesses nor shall they attempt to tamper with the evidence for the prosecution. 4. Petitioners shall not commit any offence while on bail. 5. Petitioners shall surrender before the Magistrate concerned and seek regular bail in the meanwhile. If the petitioners commit breach of any of the above conditions, the bail granted to them shall be liable to be cancelled. This application is allowed as above. V.RAMKUMAR,JUDGE. dsn
