For Petitioners : Mr.N.Shanmugaselvan For Respondent : Mr.P.Kandasamy Government Advocate (Crl. Side) ORDER The petitioners filed an application for anticipatory bail before the learned Sessions Judge, Karur in Crl.M.P.No.733 of 2011. The learned Sessions Judge heard the submissions on both sides and granted anticipatory bail on 08.06.2011, with the following conditions:- “1. The petitioners at the pre-arrest stage, are directed to appear before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.1, Karur and execute a bond of Rs.10,000/- each with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate No.1, Karur. 2. And that the petitioners shall surrender before the police for interrogation and if prima facie case is made out, the police are at liberty to arrest the petitioners.” 2. The second condition is to the effect that the police are at liberty to arrest the petitioners if prima facie case is made out. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 The petitioners have challenged the said condition contained in the order before this Court. 3. Mr.N.Shanmugaselvan, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners would contend that the Court below has fully satisfied with the circumstances available in the case on hearing the arguments of both the counsel for the petitioners and the Public Prosecutor and passed the said order granting anticipatory bail with certain conditions. The learned counsel for the petitioners further submitted that if the second condition is allowed to continue, the order of anticipatory bail granted by the Court below would become unworkable and that the petitioners are prepared to appear before the police whenever they are required. 4. Accepting the contention advanced on behalf of the petitioners, this Court is of the view that the condition No.2 has to be set aside. Instead of which, the following condition shall be incorporated in the order challenged before this Court. “2. And such the petitioners shall appear before the police for interrogation as and when required.” 5. In all other respects, the order dated 08.06.2011 in Crl.M.P.No.733 of 2011, shall hold good. With the above modification, this Criminal Revision Petition is disposed of.
