Petitioner was arrested on 08-08-2015 and he is in judicial custody since then. There is no previous crime in which the petitioner is involved. Considering the stage of investigation and the duration of custody, I find that bail can be granted to the petitioner with following strict conditions :
1. The petitioner shall be released on bail on executing a bond for Rs.25,000/- (Rupees

2. The sureties shall produce documents to establish their identity and solvency. The learned trial Judge need not insist on solvency certificate, but other documents can also be perused to find out whether the sureties are solvent or not.
3. The petitioner shall appear before the Investigating Officer on all Sundays between 10.00 and 11.00 a.m until final report is filed.
4. The petitioner shall not indulge in any offence while on bail.

If any of the above conditions is breached by the petitioner, the learned Magistrate is free to cancel bail without referring the matter to this Court.
