Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the case was transferred from court to court on four occasions and on one occasion he was not aware of the transfer and hence he happened to be absent and a non-bailable warrant was issued against him. The petitioner was granted bail at the committal stage and thereafter he did not appear before the court only because he was not aware of the proceedings due to the transfer of the case from court to court. The petitioner filed an application for bail before the trial court, but it was rejected. The petitioner is in custody for the past 60 days. The petitioner is prepared to abide by any condition and he will be present in the court on all days during trial. 4. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that bail can be granted on BA 4210/08 -2- stringent conditions. Hence, the petitioner is granted bail on the following terms and conditions:- 1) The petitioner shall be released on bail on his executing a bond for Rs.50,000/- with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial court. 2)The petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer on every Monday between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. until further orders. 3) The petitioner shall not leave the limits of the police station within which the crime is registered except with the prior permission of the learned Magistrate.
