V/s State through D.C.B. C.I.D. (Unit III) Crime Branch. ...... Respondent. ----- Mr. Prakash S. Israni for the applicant. Mrs M.H. Mhatre, APP for the State. ----- CORAM : V.M. KANADE, J. DATE : 6th January, 2009 P.C: 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. This is an application for reduction of the bail amount imposed by this Court. By an order dated 18/12/2008, this Court was pleased to release the applicant on bail in the sum of Rs 1 lac with one or two sureties in the like amount. It is submitted that due to financial constraints, applicant is not in a position to furnish bail in the sum of Rs 1 lac or furnish one or two sureties in the like amount. He, therefore, submitted that the said amount may be reduced. 2 3. It is a settled position in law that if the Court is satisfied that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail, in that event, the applicant should be asked to furnish such bail as can be furnished by him. In view of this position and in view of the inability expressed by the applicant to furnish the said bail for an amount of Rs 1 lac, the said amount is reduced to Rs 10,000/- . The order is accordingly modified. Applicant may furnish bail in the sum of Rs 10,000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount. Other conditions, however, shall continue. Applicant is permitted to correct the name of the applicant as shown in the cause title of the application. 4. Application is disposed of in the above terms. (V.M. KANADE, J.)
