Ms.Pranali Kakade, Advocate for the Applicants. Mr.J.P.Yagnik, A.P.P., for the Respondent/State. ............... CORAM: A.P.DESHPANDE, J. Dated 17th August, 2009. PC:- 1 By the present application, modification of the terms of release of the Applicant on bail is prayed for. The Additional Sessions Judge, Pune by an order dated 03.07.2009 released the present Applicants on bail in a sum of Rs.50,000/- each with solvent sureties in the like amount. Other conditions are also imposed. 2 According to the learned counsel for the Applicants, despite grant of bail before one and half month the Applicants are still in judicial custody as they are unable to furnish the surety in a sum of Rs.50,000/- each. It is thus, urged that the amount of bail be reduced from Rs.50,000/- to Rs.25,000/-. 3 The learned APP, on the other hand, suggested that in *2* the event if the bail amount is to be reduced to Rs.25,000/-, the solvent sureties directed to be furnished by the Additional Sessions Judge ought to be local sureties. 4 The learned counsel for the Applicants has no objections for the same. 5 In the result, I pass the following order:- (i) In modification of the order dated 03.07.2009 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Pune in Criminal Misc. Application No. 1553/2009, I direct that the Applicants viz. Gabbar Singh @ Gurucharan Singh and Sumit Narula be released on bail in a sum of Rs.25,000/- each with a local solvent surety each in the like amount. (ii) Other conditions stipulated in the order dated 03.07.2009 would continue to operate. (iii) With the above modification, the Application is disposed of. (A.P. Deshpande, J)
