Now it is submitted before the Court that in fact only on PR bond the applicant was released by the trial Court and he had not furnished solvent surety or even cash security to the extent of the bail amount i.e. Rs.15,000/-. Time was given to him to furnish surety till 1st July, 2015. In the meantime the applicant came before this Court with appeal. Appeal was admitted and he was granted bail. Now the situation is that he is only on PR bond without there being any solvent surety or any cash security. As such, the applicant is directed to furnish cash security within a period of one week from today and shall furnish surety for the bail amount within further period of one week i.e. within two weeks from today he shall furnish surety for the bail amount as the amount of Rs.15,000/- was fixed by the trial Court. This order is to be scrupulously complied before the trial Court. Application is accordingly disposed of. An authenticated copy of the order be given to the applicant and be sent to the concerned Sessions Court by the office. ( A. R. JOSHI, J.) Deshmane (PS) 2 / 2
