THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.7972 of 2011 ORDER: By order dated 08.03.2011 passed in Crl.M.P.No.819 of 2011 in Crime No.33 of 2011, the learned VI Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, dismissed the petition filed by the petitioner/owner of the property, seeking interim custody of the property/weapon. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner preferred Revision Petition No.77 of 2011 before the VII Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Hyderabad, who, by order, dated 24.06.2011, ordered that the weapon shall be restored to the petitioner on his executing a bond for Rs.50,000/- with a local surety to the satisfaction of VI Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, on the condition that he shall not leave the limits of the Court till the case is disposed. Hence, this criminal petition is filed. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that pursuant to the order dated 24.06.2011, the Court below is insisting the petitioner to deposit cash of Rs.50,000/- and one local surety. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also the submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court is of the view that as per the order dated 24.06.2011 passed by the Court below, there is no necessity to compel the petitioner to deposit a sum of Rs.50,000/- as one local surety and unless otherwise the petitioner himself volunteers to deposit the said amount, the Court below has no power to insist him to deposit cash of the said amount. Hence, with regard to one local surety, the Court below is directed to accept one local surety who can produce some document showing that he is having property worth of Rs.50,000/-. With the above observation, this criminal petition is disposed of. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 06.09.2011 v v
