P.C.: 1] This is an application for interim bail moved by the applicant on the ground that his real sister is getting married in Uttar Pradesh on 1st July 2009 and on 8th July there is Reception in Mumbai. Learned Counsel appearing for State opposes the request on the ground that it would be 1 difficult to locate the applicant in the event he absconds and does not return after the period of interim bail is over. 2] We may notice that it is not disputed before us that the applicant was released on furlough for about 14 days and, thereafter, he not only returned back but during that period he was regularly reporting to the concerned police station in terms of the order passed. 3] It is not unknown that presence of real brother for the marriage of the sister is a ritual and nothing adverse has been stated in regard to the behaviour of the applicant. For this reason we grant interim bail to the applicant for a period of 12 (Twelve) days with effect from 28th June 2009, subject to the conditions that (a) the applicant shall furnish bail bond in the sum of Rs.20,000/- with two local sureties in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Registrar, Sessions Court; (b) the applicant shall, before leaving Mumbai provide to the police his current address, place of business in Mumbai, which shall be confirmed by the Authorities; (c) the applicant shall surrender after expiry of twelve days to the concerned police station, without fail.
