SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, J. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Crl. M.C. No. 3050 OF 2009 ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 18th day of September, 2009 O R D E R Petitioner, the accused in Crime No.101/09 of Sasthamcotta Excise Range, was granted bail under Annexure-I order dated 11.8.2009 on conditions. One of the conditions was that petitioner should produce two solvent sureties each for Rs.25,000/- who shall produce their original title deeds with copies for verification with regard to the solvency and for return of the original. The petition is filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to quash the condition to produce the original title deeds contending that petitioner, who is residing in a Tribal Colony, is not capable of producing sureties who could produce title deeds and in such circumstances, the said condition is to be modified. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned Public Prosecutor were heard. 3. The learned Sessions Judge imposed the condition to produce the original title deeds only to establish that the sureties Crl.M.C.3050/09 : 2 : are solvent. Considering the nature of the offence, I find it not necessary to produce the original title deeds. Instead, it would be sufficient if one of the sureties is a close relative of the petitioner like the parents, brother or sister. Condition is modified to that extent. (M. SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR, JUDGE) aks
