In the said order, it was observed that if the passport of the applicant is deposited with the police, it shall remain with the police. The prayer in this application is mainly for relaxation of condition of bail and for grant of permission to visit China, Korea, Hongkong, New York and Singapore. It is also prayed that the passport of the applicant lying with C.I.D. Unit No.IX, Mumbai be handed over to him for renewal. 2. It is stated by the learned A.P.P. that [-2-] earlier the matter was investigated by C.I.D. Unit No.VII and now it is transferred to C.I.D. Unit No.IX. The learned A.P.P. on instructions from the Investigating Officer states that there is no objection to the passport of the applicant bearing Passport No.AO 213228 issued on 8.1.1996 being renewed. In such case, it is directed that the passport of the applicant be renewed for an appropriate period on his complying with other necessary formalities. 3. So far as the prayer for permission to go abroad is concerned, the learned A.P.P. on instructions states that on sufficient and suitable deposit being made by the applicant, the said prayer of the applicant may be considered for limited periods of time on imposing certain conditions. There is no allegation of any breach committed by the applicant from 2003 till today. In view of this position, I am inclined to grant permission to the applicant to travel abroad on certain conditions. 4. Hence, I dispose of the application by passing following order:- [-3-] (i) The applicant is granted permission to visit China, Korea, Hongkong, New York and Singapore subject to compliance with following conditions:- (a) The applicant shall deposit a sum of Rs.1,50,000/- before the trial Court.
