A similar matter came up before me in B.A.No.3556/2006, wherein I had released the accused 3 and 4, and on the same day rejected the prayer of the petitioners herein. However, considering the duration of the judicial detention and the near completion of the investigation, I grant bail to the petitioners, accused 8, 12 and 13 as well, subject to the following conditions:- B.A.4627/2006 2 (a). Each petitioner shall execute a bond for Rs.25,000/-, with two solvent sureties, each for the like sum, to the satisfaction of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class-II, Kochi. (b).

Other conditions, in B.A.No.3556/2006 dated 30.6.2006, shall be applicable to these petitioners also. The application is allowed as above. Hand over the Order. J.M.JAMES JUDGE mrcs
