In the circumstances, the petitioner - A1 is directed to surrender before the Magistrate concerned on or before 21.10.2015 and on such surrender, he shall be released on bail on his executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) with one surety for the like sum to the satisfaction of the said Magistrate.
