Kimudu Rajeswara Rao v. The State Of A.P

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C. PRAVEEN KUMAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.1148 of 2017 ORDER:

By an order dated 24.11.2016, the Metropolitan Sessions Judgecum-I Additional District & Sessions Judge, Visakhapatnam, released the petitioners-accused on bail on their furnishing personal bond of Rs.50,000/- and two sureties who shall each furnish fixed deposits of Rs.50,000/-, to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial First Class Magistrate, V.Madugula.

The present application is filed seeking modification of the conditions wherein the petitioners-accused were directed to furnish fixed deposits by the sureties in the name of the above said Court. The grievance of the petitioners is that the sureties are not able to furnish fixed deposits as directed and, as such, seek relaxation of the same. It is to be noted that though the order releasing the petitioners-accused on bail was passed on 24.11.2016, petitionersaccused could not get themselves released, in view of the said condition imposed.

Having regard to the above, instead of furnishing fixed deposits for the amount ordered, petitioners shall furnish personal bonds for the amount directed, i.e. Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) and also two local sureties for the amount ordered, i.e., Rs.50,000/- to the satisfaction of the above said Court. It is made clear that all the other conditions shall remain unaltered.

Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed. _____________________ C. PRAVEEN KUMAR, J February 9, 2017 MRR
