After interrogation, petitioner shall be produced before the Magistrate concerned who on being convinced that the petitioner has been interrogated by the police, shall release the petitioner on bail on B.A. No. 7597 of 2010 2 the petitioner executing a bond for Rs.15,000/- (Rupees fifteen thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the Magistrate and subject to the following conditions:- 1. The petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on all Wednesdays. 2.
