The alleged offence is under Section 379 of the Indian Penal Code. According to prosecution, on 05.04.2010, while the de facto complainant was coming out of the treasury, after receiving her pension, petitioner made some commotion there and in the meantime she opened the vanity bag of the de facto complainant and committed theft of Rs. 9,676/- from the bag. 3. Petitioner is a woman. Petitioner was arrested on 27.04.2010 and she is in custody for the past 65 days. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that charge sheet is already laid, but the petitioner belongs to Tamil Nadu and hence it is likely that she may abscond. Petitioner is also involved in another crime. (Petitioner's counsel submitted that she is in bail in that case). 4. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that bail can be granted to petitioner on conditions. Hence the following order is passed: B.A. No. 3846 / 2010 2 Petitioner shall be released on bail on her executing a bond for Rs.25,000/- with two solvent sureties(sureties shall be local sureties) each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the Magistrate Court concerned on the following conditions: i) Petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer on every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, between 10 A.M. and 1 P.M. ii) Petitioner shall not leave the limits of the police station within which the crime is registered, except with prior permission of the learned Magistrate. iii) Petitioner shall not influence or intimidate any witness or tamper with the evidence. iv) In case, petitioner is involved in any similar offence, his bail is liable to be cancelled.
