He further submitted that the petitioner is in judicial custody from 18.06.2019 onwards. Therefore, he prayed to grant bail to the petitioner.

3.Per contra, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor has submitted that the petitioner along with other accused persons attempted to commit decoity. However, he fairly conceded that the petitioner has no previous case. As investigation is pending, he strongly opposed this petition.

[e] On breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the learned Magistrate/Trial Court is entitled to take appropriate action against the petitioner in accordance with law as if the conditions have been imposed and the petitioner released on bail by the learned Magistrate/Trial Court himself as laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in P.K.Shaji vs. State of Kerala [(2005)AIR SCW 5560].
