Thereafter, by order dated 4th August 2010, the applicant was again granted permission by the Court to travel to USA till 17th September, 2010. 4. Learned advocate for the applicant states that sometimes, the applicant is required to travel at short notice and hence, it is not possible to approach the Court and get permission to travel abroad in time, hence, it is prayed that the applicant be allowed to travel aboard by imposing certain conditions but without seeking permission of the Court . Looking to the facts that the applicant has gone to USA on two occasions and he has returned back, I am inclined to allow this application to travel aboard on certain conditions. Hence,the following order: O R D E R 1. Whenever the applicant wishes to travel abroad, at least two days prior to his departure, he shall inform the concerned police station his itinerary in detail including the date when he is going abroad, the date when he will return to India, places at which he will reside during the period that he is abroad, contact numbers on which he can be contacted when he is abroad. The Investigating Officer will accordingly inform the Sahar Airport Immigration Authority. 2. This procedure shall be followed every time the applicant 2 13.cr appln 3374-10.doc wishes to travel abroad. 3. In addition, by way of security deposit, the applicant will deposit Rs. One lac in the Trial Court which amount will remain with the Trial Court till the trial is disposed of. 4. Application is disposed of in above terms. [SMT. V.K. TAHILRAMANI, J.] 3
