Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the State.
2.
This is an application for modification of the condition of bail. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the conditions imposed by trial Court by enlarging the applicant on bail especially condition (1a) is onerous. The applicant has not been able to avail of the bail since the date of the passing of the order on 19/06/2023 as he is not in a position to furnish the solvent sureties in the sum of Rs. 10 lakhs as ordered by the trial Court.

Learned APP opposed the application for modification of condition. According to her having regard to the magnitude of the crime, the condition imposed by the trial Court is just and reasonable. Having gone through the grounds in the application and considering that the applicant was enlarged on bail on 19/06/2023 but has not been able to avail of the bail for more than two and half months, in my opinion, the condition needs to be modified. 4.
The condition no. (1a) of the order dated 19/06/2023 passed by the trial Court enlarging the applicant on bail is modified. Instead of executing PR bond of Rs. 10 lakhs and furnishing one or two solvent sureties in the like amount, the same be now read as "the applicant be released on executing PR bond of Rs. 1 lakh and furnishing one or two solvent sureties in the like amount." The other conditions of the bail mentioned in the order passed by the trial Court shall remain intact.
5.
The application is disposed of.
