The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner was arrayed as an accused in Crime No.510 of 2011 under Section 6(4) RDCS Order 1982 r/w 7(1)(a)(ii) Essential Commodities Act, 1955. The petitioner is working as a salesman. On 23.09.2011, 10 bags of civil supply rice was found at the upstairs of the supermarket worth about Rs.13,950/- and he is in no way connected and hence, he prays for enlargement on anticipatory bail. 3. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that no previous case is pending. Investigation is going on and hence, he prays for dismissal of this application. 4. Considering the rival submissions made by both sides, the petitioner is a salesman and from him it was alleged that rice bags worth about Rs.13,950/- has been seized. As no previous case is pending, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, with certain conditions. 5. Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of his arrest or on his appearance before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.I, Madurai, subject to the following stringent conditions:- https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 (i) The petitioner shall deposit a sum of Rs.13,950/- to the credit of Crime No.510 of 2011 before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.I, Madurai; (ii) On such deposit the petitioner shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate No.I, Madurai, and (iii) The petitioner shall appear before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.I, Madurai, daily at 10.30 a.m. until further orders.
