The Applicant, however, still continues to be in custody as the sureties offered by him were not accepted by the Sessions Court. 3. The learned Counsel for the Applicant submits that the Applicant is in a position to offer his mother-in-law Smt. Hajrabi Shaikh and his friend Mohammed Ayub Mohd. Yusuf Ansari as sureties in the sum of Rs.25,000/- each. She submits that these sureties are having National Savings Certificates in the sum of Rs.25,000/- each in their names, and that these sureties are ready APPP-470-11.sxw 2 Dixit to deposit the original National Savings Certificates with the Court as and by way of security. 4. Considering all the relevant aspects of the matter, in my opinion, it would be proper to direct that the said sureties be accepted by the trial Court in the sum of Rs.25,000/- each, provided each of them deposits the original National Savings Certificates in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with the trial Court as and by way of security. 5. In case the sureties make an application offering to deposit the original National Savings Certificates, as directed, the trial Court may accept them as sureties in the required amount, subject, of-course, to verification of the genuineness of the National Savings Certificates and other documents, as usually done. 6. The Criminal Application is disposed of in the aforesaid terms. [A.M. THIPSAY, J.]
