This is an application filed by the applicants for modification of the order dated 20/10/2010 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge-7, Nagpur, seeking reduction of surety amount. Mr. Wasnik, learned Advocate for the applicants submitted that the applicants had filed a Misc. Cri. Application No.1984/2010 before the learned Addl. Sessions Judge-7, Nagpur for grant of bail. The application has been allowed the applicants are directed to be released on P.B. and S.B. of Rs.20,000/- on furnishing two solvent sureties each in the like amount. Learned Advocate further submitted that the applicants are labourers and because of their financial constraints, they are not in a position to comply with condition of furnishing two sureties. Learned Advocate submitted that the applicants are ready to furnish one surety of the same amount i.e. Rs.20,000/- in place of two sureties, as directed by the Sessions Court. Learned APP has filed reply and opposed the application on the ground that the offence is serious in nature and if the amount of 2 surety is reduced, the applicants may abscond and will not be available for trial. However, in view of the submission of learned Advocate for the applicants and the grounds raised in the application, I am inclined to allow the application. Consequently, the application is allowed. The order dated 20/10/2010 passed in Misc. Cri. Application No.1984/2010 below Exh.1 is hereby modified to the extent of furnishing one solvent surety each in like amount, instead of two solvent sureties each in like amount.
