ORDER

The present criminal original petition has been filed to modify the condition imposed in Crl.M.P.No.2001 of 2016 dated 16.12.2016 by the learned Principal Sessions Judge at Dharmapuri in Crime No.614 of 2016 on the file of the respondent.

2. It is the case of the petitioner that the respondent police registered a case against her in Crime No.614 of 2016 for the offence under Section 4(1)(a) r/w 4(1-A) TNP Act, pursuant to which, she was arrested on 7.12.2016. Hence, she moved an application for bail before the learned Principal Sessions Judge, Dharmapuri, in Cr.M.P.No.2001 of 2016 and the learned Judge, by order dated 16.12.2016, granted bail to the petitioner on certain conditions. One of the said conditions is that she shall deposit a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- into the Court to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate, Palacode. Since the petitioner is very poor, she is not in a position to https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

deposit a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- and hence, she seeks to reduce the said amount.

3. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor has no serious objection to modify the said condition imposed on the petitioner.

4. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is inclined to modify the said condition imposed by the learned Principal Sessions Judge, Dharmapuri, in Cr.M.P.No.2001 of 2016 dated 16.12.2016. Accordingly, instead of a sum of Rs.1,00,000/-, the petitioner is directed to deposit a sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees twenty five thousand only) into the Court to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate, Palacode. The other conditions shall remain unaltered.

The criminal original petition is ordered accordingly.
