Crl.M.P.No.148 of 2024 in Crl.O.P. No.913 of 2017 M.S.RAMESH, J.

AND SUNDER MOHAN, J.

[Order of the Court was made by SUNDER MOHAN, J.] The petitioner seeks modification of the condition imposed by this Court in Crl.O.P. No.913 of 2017 dated 07.02.2017 directing him to appear and sign before the Inspector of Police, Chennimalai, Erode, daily at 10.30 a.m., until further orders.

2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that though bail was granted to the petitioner on 07.02.2017, he could not come out from the prison since another case is pending against him; that the petitioner got bail on 22.08.2023 in Crl.A. No.871/2022 on condition that he should appear and sign before the Trial Court, i.e. Principal District Court, Coimbatore/Special Court designated under Section 22 of NIA Act every day at 10.30 a.m. and therefore, he could not comply the condition imposed by this Hon'ble Court in Cr.O.P. No.913 of 2017. Therefore, he seeks for

modification of the condition so that he would appear before the Principal District Court, Coimbatore, instead of before the Inspector of Police, Chennimalai, Erode, as directed by this Court.

3. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and on hearing the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, who has no serious objection, this Criminal Miscellaneous Petition is ordered directing the petitioner to appear before the Principal District and Sessions Court, Coimbatore on all working days at 10.30 a.m. until further orders instead of appearing before the respondent police. It is also submitted that final report has been filed in the case before the trial court. Therefore, it is made clear that the petitioner shall appear before the trial court on all hearing dates. He is exempted from appearing before the Principal District and Sessions Court, Coimbatore, on those dates when he has to appear before the trial court for hearing. (M.S.R., J.)
