The occurrence took place at about 10.15 p.m. on 18.3.2006. The petitioner surrendered before the Magistrate on 20.12.2006 and was remanded to judicial custody where he continues. 2. Learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application. 3. The case of the prosecution is that at the ill fated night while the de facto complainant and his wife were returning from the petrol pump run by them with the day's collection, the de facto complainant was robbed of cash worth Rs.2,20,295/- and his wife was robbed of cash worth Rs.25,000/- and her gold chain weighing 3 sovereigns. 3. Considering the duration of judicial custody of the petitioner and also the fact that the first accused in the case has been granted bail by this court, I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioner but on appropriate conditions safeguarding the interest of the prosecution as well. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on his BA.1297/07 : 2 : executing a bond for Rs.25,000/- (Rupees twenty five thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the J.F.C.M., North Paravur and subject to the following conditions: 1. The petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on all Wednesdays. 2. The petitioner shall make himself available for interrogation as and when required by the police till the filing of the final report. 3. The petitioner shall not influence or intimidate the prosecution witnesses nor shall he attempt to tamper with the evidence for the prosecution. 4. The petitioner shall not commit any offence while on bail. If the petitioner commits breach of any of the above conditions, the bail granted to him shall be liable to be cancelled. This application is allowed as above. (V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE) aks
