The applicant has been prosecuted for the offence punishable under section 465, 467, 468, 471, 420, 84 of the Indian Penal Code. By order dated 19 th May 2009, the learned Additional Sessions Judge directed that the applicant shall be enlarged on bail on furnishing P.R.

The learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant has played no role in the offence and he was merely working as an office boy in the office of the accused no.1. The learned A.P.P submitted that another - 2 - case has been registered against the applicant and therefore, no modification should be made. 3 I have considered the submissions. In the order granting bail, the learned Sessions Judge has noted that investigation has been completed and charge sheet is filed. The learned Jude has noted that nothing has been recovered from the custody of the applicant. Though the bail was granted on 19 th May 2009, the applicant could not avail of the bail as he could not furnish surety in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/-. 4 Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the order needs modification : 5 Hence, I pass the following order : i) The order dated 19 th May 2009 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge in bail application no. 996 of 2009 is modified and instead of bail in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/-, the applicant shall be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.30,000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount to make up the said amount. ii)Rest of the conditions forming part of the order granting bail are maintained.
