BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SHRI C.M. NAZER THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/04/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: THOMAS P.JOSEPH, J. ==================================== Crl. M.C. No.1288 of 2011 ==================================== Dated this the 26th day of April, 2011 O R D E R Petitioner is accused in Crime No.695 of 2011 of Karunagappally Police Station for offence punishable under Section 55(i) of the Abkari Act. Learned Additional Sessions Judge-I, Kollam granted bail to the petitioner as per order dated 30.03.2011 on Crl. M.P. No.848 of 2011 subject to certain conditions. It was directed that learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, Karunagappally before whom the bail bond was to be executed may verify the title deeds of sureties. Grievance of petitioner is that the learned Magistrate is insisting on original title deeds of the sureties but they are unable to produce the same since the same are pledged with a Bank. Hence it is prayed that the said condition may be lifted. I have heard learned Public Prosecutor also. 2. Learned Additional Sessions Judge has only directed that learned Magistrate may verify title deeds of the sureties, obviously to ensure that the sureties own property which they offer as security. That object can be achieved by verifying a CRL.M.C. No.1288 of 2011 -: 2 :- photocopy of the title deeds. Criminal Miscellaneous Case is disposed of by making it clear that it is sufficient that sureties produced photocopies of their title deeds in respect of the property which they offer as security pursuant to the order dated 30.03.2011 on Crl.M.P. No.848 of 2011. THOMAS P. JOSEPH, JUDGE. vsv
