Petitioner is the accused in Crime No.393/2011 of Chalissery Police Station for offences punishable under Section 292 (2) of the I.P.C, 52 (A) read with Section 68(A) of Copy Right Act, 1986 and Section 3(1) (h)(g) of Young Person (Harmful Publication) Act, 1956. Apprehending arrest, detention and torture at the hands of the Investigating Officer, this petition was filed seeking an order directing the respondent to release the petitioner on bail in the event of arrest with a plea that he is innocent of the allegations. 2. Having heard either side, I find that it would be appropriate to release the petitioner on bail on conditions. In the result, this petition is allowed. The petitioner shall surrender before the Investigating Officer, who after interrogation, with or without arrest shall release the petitioner on bail on executing a bond for Rs.20,000/- with two solvent sureties each for like amount to the satisfaction of the Investigating Officer subject to the following conditions: B.A.No.9066 of 2011 2 1) The petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer as and when required. 2) Petitioner shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any Police officer. 3) Petitioner shall not leave Palakkad District without the previous permission of the Investigating Officer. 4) This order shall be in force for a period of one month, within which period the petitioner shall apply for regular bail, failing which the Investigating Officer shall arrest the petitioner and produce him before the Magistrate concerned.
