HEMA, J. ----------------------------------- B.A. No. 3689 OF 2008 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of June, 2008. O R D E R This is a petition for bail. 2. Petitioner is the 7th accused in the crime registered under Sections 465, 468, 471, 474, 201, 420, 511 of 420 read with Section 34 of Indian Penal Code. He is in custody since 31.05.2008. Learned Director General of Prosecutions vehemently opposed this bail application contending that huge amount of money is misappropriated by using forged documents etc. However, he conceded that anticipatory bail was granted to other co-accused except the first accused. It is also admitted that first accused is granted bail on conditions. 3. Hence, there is no reason why petitioner who is similarly placed is refused bail. Hence, learned Director General of Prosecutions submitted that if bail is granted, it may be on stringent conditions directing the petitioner to appear before the Investigating Officer once in a week and co-operate with the investigation. Hence the petitioner is granted bail on the following terms and conditions: B.A. No. 3689/08 2 1) Petitioner shall execute a bond for Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate's Court, Ernakulam. 2) Petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer on every Monday between 10a.m and 1p.m until further orders. 3) Petitioner shall co-operate with the investigation. 4) Petitioner shall not influence any witnesses or threaten them and in case this condition is violated, bail is liable to be canceled. 5) Petitioner shall also not tamper with any evidence.
