4. In the considered opinion of this Court, the condition imposed by the Principal Sessions Court, Dharmapuri, calling upon the petitioner to deposit a certain sum of money in the Court cannot be said to be illegal. However, taking into consideration the nature of the allegations in the FIR, the deposit amount of Rs.50,000/- is reduced to Rs.30,000/- and on such deposit, the Judicial Magistrate, Harur shall re-deposit the amount in a fixed deposit account in any Nationalised Bank, so that the amount carries interest, and the same can be disbursed at the end of the trial by the trial Court. Two weeks time is extended for furnishing the sureties from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Rest of the conditions imposed by the trial Court remain the same.

5. With the above modifications and direction, this Criminal Original Petition is ordered.
