By this application sent through jail, the applicant wants that the bail amount in the four cases be reduced from 25,000/- to a reasonable value as he has been languishing in the custody for substantially long time. 2. Heard learned advocates for both sides. Considering the fact that the applicant is languishing in custody and that he has not been able to furnish bail to the tune of Rs.25,000/- in each case, as submitted by the advocate for the applicant, by way of indulgence I am inclined to reduce the bail amount from Rs.25,000/- to Rs.10,000/- each (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) so that the applicant may have facilities of bail. Hence, the following Order. ORDER i) The bail amount in respective cases where the applicant continues to be detained are reduced from Rs.25,000/- to Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand). Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that the applicant shall be released on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- each with one surety in the like amount in Sessions Case Nos.332 of 2005, 336 of 2005, 335 of 2005 and 339 of 2005. ii) The applicant will have to furnish P.R.Bond in the sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) in each Sessions Case. iii) The person who shall offer himself as surety in one case shall not act as surety in other case. iv) Writ to go forthwith to the Superintendent, Thane Jail.
