Heard.

Vide Order dated 15.07.2016, the petitioners were granted bail by the learned Sessions Judge, Krishna Division, Machilipatnam, on a condition of their executing a bond for Rs.5,00,000/- each with two sureties for a like sum each to the satisfaction of the said Court. Learned Sessions Judge also imposed certain other conditions on the petitioner. However, feeling aggrieved by the said order to the extent of directing the petitioners to furnish two sureties for a sum of Rs.5,00,000/- each, the present petition is preferred. 4.

Having regard to the order passed by this Court earlier, the petitioners are directed to furnish two sureties for a sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) each instead of Rs.5,00,000/- each as directed by the Court below. Further, out of

two sureties, one surety must be a local surety. It is made clear that the impugned order is modified only to this extent and the other conditions stipulated in the impugned order remain unaltered. 5.

Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. _______________________ JUSTI CE C. PRAVEEN KUMAR Date:17.09.2016 Note: Furnish CC within two (02) days.
