No.3268 of 2008 ------------------------------------- Dated this the 17th day of September, 2008 ORDER Petitioner, who is allegedly guilty of a bailable offence punishable under Section 20 of the Kerala Protection of River Banks and Regulation of Removal of Sand Act, 2001, has come to this Court with a grievance that an unnecessarily onerous condition has been stipulated by the learned Magistrate when he was granted bail as per order dated 18.07.08. Her sureties have been directed to produce the original title deeds. This is unnecessary in the facts and circumstances of the case, urges counsel. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor does not oppose the said prayer and I am satisfied, in the facts and circumstances of the case, that such insistence on production of original title deeds by the sureties is unnecessary. 3. This Crl.M.C is accordingly allowed. The said condition is deleted. The sureties can be accepted by the learned Magistrate if the learned Magistrate is otherwise satisfied about the acceptability of the sureties, without insisting on production of original title deeds.
