Petitioner was arrested on 10-11-2006 and ever since then he has been remanded to the judicial custody. 2. I heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor. 3. Having regard to the duration of judicial custody of the petitioner and the further fact that he had not directly met the first accused, who is alleged to be the Pakistani national, for whom the petitioner had secured the passport, I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioner but subject to adequate conditions safeguarding the interest of the prosecution. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on his executing a bond for Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand BA.537/07 2 only) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the J.F.C.M., Kunnamangalam and subject to the following conditions: a.
