BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.GIKKU JACOB THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/10/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: R.BASANT, J ------------------------------------ Crl.M.C.No.2590 of 2007 ------------------------------------- Dated this the 19th day of October, 2007 O R D E R There is no representation for the petitioners. The short grievance of the petitioners, who are counter petitioners in proceedings initiated under Section 107 Cr.P.C is that they were unnecessarily compelled to deposit an amount of Rs.3,000/- each (Rs.30,000/- in all) as a condition for their release on bail. Report of the Sub Divisional Magistrate was called for. The report of the Sub Divisional Magistrate shows that it was consequent to the inability of the petitioners to produce proper sureties that they offered to deposit cash security of Rs.30,000/- and were accordingly so released from custody. I need, in these circumstances, only observe that if the petitioners are willing to produce appropriate and sufficient sureties and execute the necessary bonds with sureties, the Sub Divisional Magistrate must accept the same and direct release of the cash deposits received from the petitioners herein. This Crl.M.C is allowed to the above extent. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) rtr/- 2
