Petitioner is accused of offences punishable under Secs.468, 471 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code. The case is now being investigated by the C.B.C.I.D, Kottayam. Learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Nedumkandam while granting bail imposed certain conditions on 20.07.2009 and 22.07.2009. Petitioner approached this Court. By Annexure-B, order this Court modified the second condition imposed by the learned Magistrate on 22.07.2009 to the effect that petitioner need appear before the investigating officer only on second Saturdays of every month until final report is filed and as and when required by the investigating officer. One of the condition imposed by the learned Magistrate is that petitioner shall not enter Idukki District until final report is filed. These conditions are requested to be modified. Learned counsel submitted that petitioner is now staying at Kottayam and her close relatives are staying at Thodupuzha and hence she be permitted to go to Thodupuzha. Crl.M.C.No.4561 of 2010 -: 2 :- Petitioner also requested that condition for appearance before the investigating officer is required to be lifted. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that draft charge sheet has been given to the law officer concerned for approval. 2. Having heard learned Public Prosecutor and learned counsel for petitioner I am inclined to modify the conditions regarding appearance before the investigating officer and ban for entry into Idukki District. It is sufficient that petitioner appeared before the investigating officer as and when directed. She can also be permitted to go to Thodupuzha but, she shall not go beyond Thodupuzha Taluk in Idukki District. Resultantly this criminal miscellaneous case is allowed in the following lines: (i) The condition requiring petitioner to appear before the investigating officer on all second Saturdays is lifted. Instead, it is directed that she shall appear before the investigating officer as and when directed. (ii) The condition prohibiting petitioner entering Idukki District is modified to the extent that she is permitted to go to Thodupuzha but, she shall not go beyond Thodupuzha Taluk.
