Prosecutor appearing for the respondent/State. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that the applicant should inform the Investigating Officer about the fact of his return from the foreign country immediately. With this condition, according the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, the applicant may be granted permission as prayed.

This is an application for permission to the applicant to travel Dubai during the period in between 17/12/2017 and 04/01/2018. It is seen that daughter of the present applicant is married and stayed at Dubai and expected to deliver sometime in the last week of December 2017. That is why, the applicant is seeking permission to travel to Dubai during this period. It is seen that the applicant is retired police officer and as such, I do not foresee any possibility of his evading the trial. Hence, the permission, as sought, can be granted by imposing necessary conditions on the applicant. Therefore, the Order : (i) The application is allowed.

(ii) The applicant/accused is permitted to travel to Dubai for the period from 17/12/2017 to 04/01/2018.

(iii) During this period, condition No.2 of the Order dated 19th June 2017 is relaxed.
