Petitioner was arrested on 6.2.2007. 2. Eventhough the learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application submitting, inter alia, that the person who had actually forged the SSLC book of the petitioner is one Ramesh, who is absconding, that is no reason to continue the judicial custody of the petitioner when the involvement of the petitioner is not needed for further progress of the investigation. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail with effect from 1.3.2007 on his executing a bond for Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the J.F.C.M.-I, Kozhikode and subject to the following conditions: BA.1075/07 : 2 : 1.

The petitioner shall not influence or intimidate the prosecution witnesses nor shall he attempt to tamper with the evidence for the prosecution. 4. The petitioner shall not commit any offence while on bail. If the petitioner commits breach of any of the above conditions, the bail granted to him shall be liable to be cancelled. This application is allowed as above. (V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE) aks
