DATED : 25th April, 2008. DATED : 25th April, 2008. DATED : 25th April, 2008. P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: 1. Heard learned Advocates appearing on both the sides. 2. Applicant wants reduction in the bail amount in regard to order dated 29.10.2007. I have heard learned Advocates on both the sides. 3. Petitioner is found to be concerned in offence under Sections 489(C) and 120-B r/w.Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner was deported from Dubai and, thereafter, his alleged involvement is noticed and that is how, he has been booked in crime. The bail amount of Rs.1.00 lac has been fixed keeping in view the alleged involvement of the petitioner and the nature of crime and the fact that the petitioner hails from a small village in the State of Karnataka. I an inclined to observe that the bail amount of ( 2 ) Rs.1.00 lac fixed in terms of the order dated 29.10.2007 primarily so as to secure the presence of the petitioner in the Court from time to time. Learned Advocate Ms.Nilofer submitted that the charge under Section 489(C) is bailable and, therefore, a small bail amount ought to have been fixed. Such a contention cannot be accepted because the amount of the bail cannot be fixed at a lesser rate merely because the offence is bailable, the Court will have to consider all the facts and circumstances and then fix the bail amount. That having been done as is manifested from the order, there is no need to reduce the bail amount and the application is required to be rejected. Hence the order :- a) The application is rejected. 4. The Court Stenographer to transcribe the order as expeditiously as possible, authenticated copy of which to be supplied to the Advocate appearing for the applicant if requested for. (R.Y. GANOO, J.)
