Petitioner is an accused in Crime No. 576/2011 of East Kallada Police Station for the offence punishable under Section 379 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation is that while travelling in a bus the petitioner snatched the chain of the defacto complainant. Petitioner was taken into custody on 27.7.2011 and since then she was on remand. It is pointed out that the investigation is almost over and continued custody of the petitioner is not necessary. 3. Learned Public Prosecutor strongly opposed the petition mainly on the ground that the petitioner has no permanent address and if bail is granted, she may not be available for trial. 4. The fact remains that the petitioner has been taken into custody on 27.7.2011 and major portion B.A.7102/2011. 2 of the investigation is over by now. Since the Public Prosecutor has expressed an apprehension regarding the availability of the petitioner for trial, it is felt that stringent conditions may be imposed while granting bail. In the result, this application is allowed on the following conditions: 1) Petitioner shall be released on bail on her executing a bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only) with two solvent sureties for the like sum each to the satisfaction of JFCM, Kollam. 2) Petitioner shall report before the investigating officer on every Friday between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. till final report is filed. 3) Petitioner shall not tamper or attempt to tamper with the evidence or influence or try to influence the witnesses.
