Learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application submitting inter alia that the counterfeit note of Rs.500/= denomination was not recovered from the petitioner but from the first accused who is alleged to have confessed to the police that it was supplied to him by the petitioner herein. The custodial interrogation of the petitioner did not result in the recovery of any counterfeit note from the petitioner who has been in custody from 1.6.2007. 3. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioner but only from a future date. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail with effect from 25.6.2007, on his executing a bond for Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees B.A.No.3496/2007 :2: twenty thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the J.F.C.M.-I, Kottarakkara, and subject to the following conditions: (a). The petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on all Wednesdays. (b). The petitioner shall make himself available for interrogation as and when required by the police till the filing of the final report. (c) The petitioner shall not influence or intimidate the prosecution witnesses nor shall he attempt to tamper with the evidence for the prosecution. (d). 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. css/ B.A.No.3496/2007 :3: css/ B.A.No.3496/2007 :4:
