ORDER
This Criminal Original Petition has been filed for modification of the conditions imposed while granting the anticipatory bail in Crl.M.P.No.2070 of 2024, dated 1/4
07.08.2024 on the file of the Principal Sessions Judge, Sivagangai.
2. The first condition is to stay away at Dindigul and report before the Chinnalapatti Police station twice a day. The learned counsel prays that it would be difficult for the petitioner to comply with the said condition imposed. . Taking into consideration that there was also an earlier offence under Section 307 IPC and there was an imminent likelihood of again both groups clashing, the same cannot be modified. However, considering the fact that the situation has diffused the petitioner, the petitioner shall stay at Dindigul and sign before the Chinnalapatti Police Station twice a day at 10.00 am and 5.00 pm for a period three weeks, from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and thereafter, the condition will stand relaxed.
3. The second condition for which modification sought for is the requirement of surrendering the passport, the prayer is opposed by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent Police on the ground that the petitioner is likely to proceed to Dubai or other Middle East countries for work and if it goes, he will not return for 2-3 years and the case will be pending. The learned counsel for the petitioner is not in a position to refute the same. But at the same time, if the petitioner's avocation is in abroad he cannot be detained for long also.
4. The learned Additional public prosecutor submits that the investigation is almost completed and the charge sheet will be filed within three weeks from the date 2/4
of receipt of a copy of this order. As and when the charge sheet is filed, the trial court is requested to take up the same for expeditious disposal.
5. With the above observations, this Criminal original Petition is disposed of. Time is extended for one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order to furnish the surety.
