By this application, the applicant seeks temporary relaxation of one of the conditions of bail imposed upon him by this court while granting bail vide order dated 26th July 2007. 2 3. The applicant is being prosecuted for the offence punishable u/s.489A, 489B and 489C of the IPC for possessing two counterfeit Indian currency notes, one of Rs.500/- and one of Rs.1,000/-. The applicant is a native of State of Jammu and Kashmir and had come to Mumbai for business. When he was found to be in possession of two fake currency notes. He was arrested and charged for the offence as mentioned above. 4. Counsel for the applicant states that applicant needs to visit his native place in Jammu & Kashmir for attending to his ailing wife and he therefore may be exempted from attending the police station, not permanently, but for a period of eight weeks. Learned APP submits that the period of exemption of 8 weeks is too long and the applicant may be exempted from attendance for four weeks and after 6th February 2008. 5. In my view taking into consideration the distance and also taking into consideration the fact that applicant has complied with the conditions strictly and the need for attending to his wife who is said to be ailing, it would be appropriate to grant him exemption of eight weeks as requested. In 3 the circumstances, I pass the following order:- O R D E R O R D E R O R D E R . The condition of attendance of once a week on every Saturday imposed by the order dated 26th July 2007 is relaxed for a period of eight weeks commencing from 10th February 2007 on applicant furnishing an undertaking to this court that he would start attending the concerned police station after eight weeks.
