HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B. SESHASAYANA REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.2101 of 2011 ORDER: This is an application filed by the petitioners seeking relaxation of the condition imposed on them with regard to furnishing the local sureties worth of Rs.50,000/- each as ordered by the I Addl. Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Visakhapatnam in Crl.M.P.No.22 of 2011 in S.C.No.1 of 2008 dated 09-02- 2011. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and learned Addl. Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent-State. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are not in a position to avail the benefit of the order passed by the I Addl. Metropolitan Sessions Judge, since they are not in a position to secure the local sureties from the residents of Visakhapatnam District. Learned Addl. Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent-State opposed the application. As seen from the order passed by the I Addl. Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Visakhapatnam, the sureties shall be the residents in the Visakhapatnam District owning properties in Visakhapatnam District. It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioners that though the bail has been granted by the I Addl. Metropolitan Sessions Judge on 09-02-2011, they are not in a position to avail the benefit of the order because of their inability to secure the sureties who hail from Visakhapatnam District. Having considered the facts and circumstances, the condition that the sureties shall be residents of Visakhapatnam District is hereby relaxed. The other conditions stipulated in the order dated 09-02-2011 shall remain unaltered. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. ____________________________________ JUSTICE B.
