Public Prosecutor submits that the 2nd accused has assisted in forging delivery notes for the purpose of transporting of goods. However, he submits that, A1 has already been granted anticipatory bail and therefore, he has no objection in the petitioner/A2 also being granted anticipatory bail imposing necessary conditions. 4. In the result, I direct the petitioner to surrender before the Magistrate concerned positively on or before 13-5-2008 and to deposit by way of cash security an amount of Rs.3,000/- and thereafter execute bail bond for Rs.15,000/- with two solvent sureties each for the like sums to the satisfaction of the Magistrate. On the above conditions being satisfied the petitioner can be enlarged on bail B.A.No.2666/2008 -2- on the following conditions. i). that the petitioner shall appear before the Investigating Officer as and when called for. ii). that he shall not try to influence or intimidate the witnesses in the case and shall co-operate with the investigation in the case. iii). that the grant of anticipatory bail as above shall not stand in the way of the prosecuting agency asking for custodial interrogation of the petitioner, if need be, and the learned Magistrate granting it if deemed fit proper and legal in the circumstances.
