The case of the prosecution is that on 6.1.2007 four pirated CDs were seized by the police party from the shop of the petitioner. 3. Eventhough the learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application in as much as this court has granted bail in similar matters, I see no reason why the petitioner should be treated differently. 4. Accordingly, a direction is issued to the officer-in-charge of the police station concerned to release the petitioner on bail for a period of one month in the event of his arrest in connection with the above case 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 to the said officer and subject to the following conditions: a. Petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on all Wednesdays. BA.774/07 2 b. The petitioner shall make himself available for interrogation as and when required by the Investigating Officer. c. The petitioner shall not influence or intimidate the prosecution witnesses nor shall he attempt to tamper with the evidence for the prosecution. d. Petitioner shall not commit any offence while on bail. e. Petitioner shall surrender before the Magistrate concerned and seek regular bail in the meanwhile. 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
