C-482 No. 123 of 2010 Hon. Prafulla C. Pant, J. Mr. Manish Arora, Advocate present for the petitioner. Mr. B.S. Parihar, Brief Holder for the State present for respondents No. 1. Heard. Petitioner Mahafooj Ali, through this petition, moved under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, has sought quashing of the condition imposed by the Sessions Judge, Haridwar, vide order dated 03.02.2010, while granting bail to the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that petitioner is in jail in connection with Crime No. 325 of 2009, relating to offence punishable under Section 135 of the Electricity Act, 2003. He was granted bail by the Sessions Judge, Haridwar, vide order dated 03.02.2010, and among other conditions, an additional condition of making payment of Rs. 1,83,651/- is imposed on the applicant (present petitioner). Referring to Section 135 of the aforesaid Act, it is pleaded that for the offence punishable with a maximum period of three years of imprisonment, the petitioner has been practically denied the bail by imposing the aforesaid condition. It is further submitted that the petitioner has a right to file appeal against the assessment made by the authorities in respect of penalty imposed. Having considered submissions of learned counsel for the parties, without expressing any opinion as to the final merits of the case, this Court is of the view that condition imposed by the Sessions Judge cannot be sustained in the eyes of law, in the above circumstances, as it practically denies the present petitioner the bail granted by the Sessions Judge. Therefore, this petition moved under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. is summarily disposed of quashing the condition directing the petitioner to pay Rs. 1,83,651/- towards assessment made by the authorities in respect of electricity dues and the penalty. The applicant shall be released on bail as per the order passed by the Sessions Judge after fulfilling the rest o the conditions, and it is left open for the authority concerned to recover the amount assesse with law. d, in accordance (P.C.
