2. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that this Court, while granting bail to the petitioner imposed the condition that the petitioner shall report before the respondent/complainant weekly twice i.e every Monday and Friday at 10.30 a.m., without fail, until further orders. He would further submit that the petitioner appeared before the respondent daily without any default and the investigation is over and the petitioner's wife is a cancer patient and he has been suffering from paralysis. Therefore, due to his illness, the petitioner is unable to attend before the respondent on all the alternative days. Hence, he seeks for modification of condition "to appear before the respondent instead of appearing before the DRI official, Hyderabad"
