Learned Public Prosecutor, on instructions, submitted that the petitioners 2 to 4 are not accused in the case and that the 1st petitioner is the sole accused in Crime No.129/07 of Kumbala Police Station for an offence punishable under section 498A IPC. Hence, the apprehension of arrest and harassment entertained by petitioners 2 to 4 is unfounded. 3.

Accordingly, a direction is issued to the officer-in-charge of the police station concerned to release the sole accused(1st petitioner) on bail for a period of one month in the event of his arrest in connection with the above case on his executing a bond for Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the BA.3282/07 : 2 : satisfaction to the said officer and subject to the following conditions: a. 1st petitioner(sole accused) shall report before the Investigating Officer between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on all Wednesdays. b. 1st petitioner(sole accused) shall make himself available for interrogation as and when required by the Investigating Officer. c. 1st petitioner(sole accused) shall not influence or intimidate the prosecution witnesses nor shall he attempt to tamper with the evidence for the prosecution. d. 1st petitioner(sole accused) shall not commit any offence while on bail. e. 1st petitioner (sole accused) shall surrender before the Magistrate concerned and seek regular bail in the meanwhile.
