After perusal of the police papers and the impugned order, I am satisfied that the order is very harsh and, therefore needs to be modified. 5 Therefore, the Applicant- be released on his executing P. R.of Rs.20,000/- with a surety in the like amount with condition that he shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence and shall attend the concerned police station on 5th day of every month till December, 2011.
