The date of occurrence is December 2005 and the allegation is that the petitioner and the other accused committed dacoity and snatched away an amount of Rs.10.5 lakhs from the de facto complainant. He is in judicial custody since 16.3.2009 onwards. 2. I heard the counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Public Prosecutor. 3. Annexure-B order of the learned Sessions Judge, Thrissur vividly narrates the vicious activities on the part of the petitioner. It reveals his complicity and it is obvious from there that he is involved in several similar crimes. Considering his criminal grave antecedents he has been denied bail by the trial court. 4. It is submitted by the counsel for the petitioner that in respect of the other crimes mentioned at paragraph 4 of Annexure-B order, he was enlarged on bail. Further, it is BA.2266/09 : 2 : submitted that in respect of Crime N.478/2007, all the other accused persons were enlarged on bail. As stated earlier, the date of occurrence in respect of this Crime is December 2005. Considering such circumstances, I think the petitioner can be enlarged on bail with stringent conditions. 5. Accordingly, this application is allowed subject to the following conditions. i) The petitioner shall be enlarged on bail on his executing a bond for Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees one lakh only) with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Sessions Judge, Thrissur. ii) The petitioner shall report before the investigating officer in Crime No.478/2007 of Thrissur Town East Police Station on all alternative days between 10 a.m and 12 am till final report is laid in this case, from 12.5.2009. iii) The petitioner shall not leave the jurisdiction of the Sessions Court, Thrissur without specific prior permission from the Court.
