PUBLIC PROSECUTOR MR.GIKKU JACOB THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 11/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: M.N. KRISHNAN, J ----------------------- CRL.M.C.No. 140 OF 2009 --------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of February, 2009 O R D E R This petition is filed with a prayer to set aside the condition in Annexure II order imposing deposit of Rs. 7,000/- each by the petitioner. In the order the learned Magistrate has directed the petitioners to deposit a cash security of Rs. 7,000/-. The learned Magistrate ordered that bail is granted on self bond for Rs. 15,000/- each and on deposit of Rs. 7,000/- by each accused as this is a warrant trial case. Thereafter the court enlarged the time for depositing the amount and directed a bond for Rs. 25,000/- each with two solvent sureties each for the like amount. This court in its interim order directed not to insist for the cash deposit but to execute the bond as ordered by the court below on the later part of the order. The reason for demanding cash security is on account of the default committed by the petitioners. The petitioners are expected to comply with the directions of the court and undertaking given by them in the bond. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that there will not be any such recurrence and they will appear before the court. Taking into consideration these Crl.M.C.No. 140/2009 -2- materials, I am inclined to modify the order and delete the direction of the court below to deposit the amount of Rs. 7,000/- as security. Or in other words the order directing the petitioners to execute a bond for Rs. 25,000/- with two solvent sureties for the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned Magistrate is sufficient. The Crl. M.C. is disposed of accordingly. M.N. KRISHNAN,JUDGE vkm
