Petitioner is a woman and she is in custody for the past 42 days. 3. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that petitioner hails from Tamil Nadu and her address is not correct on verification. Hence, it is likely that the petitioner may abscond. However, he has no objection in granting bail by imposing conditions to ensure that the petitioner will be available for trial. 4. On hearing both sides, petitioner is granted bail on the following terms and conditions: i) Petitioner shall execute a bond for Rs.25,000/- with two 2 solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate. The sureties shall be local sureties. ii) Petitioner shall report before the investigating officer on every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. until further orders. iii) Petitioner shall not leave the limits of the police station within which the crime is registered except with the prior permission of the learned Magistrate. iv) Petitioner shall furnish the residential address where she proposes to reside during trial, within the limits of the police station within which the crime is registered, within 10 days from the date of release on bail. v) Petitioner shall not commit any offence on bail and in case of breach of this condition bail is liable to be cancelled.
