O R D E R This petition is for bail. 2. The alleged offence is under Section 380 of the Indian Penal Code. According to prosecution, petitioner committed theft of two sovereigns of gold and two mobile phones belonging to defacto complainant, 2 ½ years prior to the date on which the accused was arrested. 3. Petitioner was arrested on 11.5.2010 and he is in custody for the past 60 days. The charge sheet is not laid. Hence, this petition is not opposed, since petitioner is entitled for bail under Section 167(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that petitioner is involved in various other crimes of similar nature and hence, stringent conditions may be imposed, while granting bail. 4. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that bail can be granted to petitioner on conditions. Hence, the following order is passed : Petitioner shall be released on bail on his executing a BA NO. 3945/10 2 bond for Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the court concerned, on the following conditions : (i) Petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer on alternate days between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. until further orders. (ii) Petitioner shall not leave the limits of the police station within which the offences are committed, except with prior permission of the learned Magistrate.
