The applicants have taken out this application for modification and relaxation of the bail condition. By the order dated 6th of May, 2008 in Cri. Application No. 334/2008, the applicants were enlarged on bail subject to the condition that they will report NCB, Ballard Pier, Mumbai twice in a week for a period of six months and thereafter once in a week, till disposal of the appeal. The learned counsel for the applicants -: 2 :- stated that the applicant no.1 wishes to take job as production supervisor at Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing Firm at Bhiwandi, Dist. Thane and the applicant no.2 wishes to take up job as a production in charge at a chemical unit at Taloja Dist. Raigad. He submitted that both the applicants have complied with the condition viz. to report NCB twice in a week for a period of six months. It was also submitted that since the applicants are intending to take up jobs at the above places, it will be difficult for them to report NCB, Ballard Pier, Mumbai every week. It was also further submitted that the co-accused Suresh Jain is also released on bail in criminal application no. 596 of 2008 on condition that for initial period of six months he will report NCB once in a week and thereafter, once in a month till disposal of the appeal. 3. In my considered view in the above circumstances, the condition to report NCB Ballard Pier, Mumbai once in a week deserves to be modified. I, therefore, pass the following order : i. The condition that the applicants shall report NCB, Ballard Pier, Mumbai once in a week is modified and relaxed and instead the applicants are directed to report NCB, Ballard -: 3 :- Pier, Mumbai once in a month. 4. Civil application is disposed of on the above terms. (R.V.MORE,J.)
