THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY Criminal Petition No.2380 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner herein is the accused in Crime No.1058 of 2010 of S.R.Nagar Police Station, Hyderabad, registered for the offence under Section 302 IPC. 2. The petitioner approached the Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Hyderabad, for grant of bail by moving Crl.M.P.No.3939 of 2010. His application came to be considered by the learned Metropolitan Sessions Judge on 22.12.2010. Relevant portion of the order passed by the Metropolitan Sessions Judge reads as hereunder: “In the result, the petition is allowed. The petitioner/accused shall be released on bail on his execution of bond for Rs.10,000/- with two sureties for likesum each to the satisfaction of the learned III Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad and on further condition that he shall appear before the SHO, S.R.Nagar PS on every Monday and Thursday between 7.00 a.m. to 10.00 a.m. and further that he shall not leave the jurisdiction of the court without prior intimation and permission and also that he should make himself available for interrogation whenever required by the investigation agency, until filling of charge-sheet in this case.” The petitioner subsequently filed Crl.M.P.No.240 of 2011 seeking relaxation of the conditions imposed on him. The learned Metropolitan Sessions Judge, by order dated 14.02.2011 modified the conditions. The modified conditions read as hereunder: “Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and submissions made by the counsel for petitioner, the condition that the petitioner shall appear before the SHO, S.R.Nagar PS on every Monday and Thursday between 7.00 a.m. to 10.00 a.m. is hereby modified and the petitioner is directed to appear before the SHO, SR Nagar P.S. on every Sunday between 10.00 a.m. to 11.00 a.m. until further orders. The other conditions imposed in the order dt.22.12.2010 stand good.” Hence, this Criminal Petition under Section 439(1)(b) Cr.P.C. seeking relaxation of the condition with regard to his appearance before the SHO, S.R.Nagar P.S., Hyderabad on every Sunday between 10.00 a.m. and 11.00 a.m. 3. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent/State. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been complying the condition of marking his presence before the SHO, S.R.Nagar P.S. Hyderabad, for more than six weeks and the police have completed the major part of the investigation and therefore, the appearance of the petitioner before the SHO, S.R.Nagar P.S. may not be of much use. 5. No instance is brought to my notice that the petitioner misused the conditional bail granted to him. In that view of the matter, the condition imposed on the petitioner with regard to his appearance before the Station House Officer, S.R.Nagar Police Station, Hyderabad, on every Sunday between 10.00 a.m. and 11.00 a.m. is hereby relaxed. 6. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is ordered. ______________________ B.SESHASAYANA REDDY, J.
