A. No.2865 of 2008 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 6th day of May, 2008 ORDER This is an application for anticipatory bail filed under Section 438 of the Cr.P.C. Petitioner is accused in Crime No.321/08 of Ernakulam North Police Station registered for offences under Sections 406, 420 and 468 of the IPC. Heard the submissions of the counsel for the petitioner and the Public Prosecutor. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that the petitioner can be enlarged on anticipatory bail imposing stringent conditions. In the result, allowing this application, I direct that the petitioner shall surrender before the Magistrate concerned positively on or before 13/5/2008 and shall deposit by way of cash security an amount of Rs.7,000/- and shall thereafter execute bail bond for Rs.15,000/- with two solvent sureties each for the like sums to the satisfaction of the Magistrate. B. A. No.2865 of 2008 -2- On the above conditions being satisfied the petitioner can be enlarged on bail. On such release, the petitioner shall appear before the Investigating Officer between 10 a.m. and 12 noon on all days for a period of two weeks and thereafter on every alternate days for a period of one month and thereafter on all Tuesdays and Fridays only till the investigation in the case is over and final report is laid. The above directions shall not stand in the way of the Investigating Agency seeking for custodial interrogation of the petitioner, if need be, and the Magistrate granting it if deemed fit, necessary and legal. On release, the petitioner shall co-operate with the investigation in the case, shall not get himself involved in commission of any offence, shall not influence or intimidate the witnesses in the case and shall not, except for the purpose of appearing before the Investigating Officer, move beyond the territorial limits of the town in which he is having his permanent residence, the details of which shall be furnished to the Court and to the Investigating Officer immediately on release on bail.
