3.

The I.A. has been filed seeking modification of the condition imposed by this Court while granting bail to the petitioner of furnishing cash security of Rs.20,000/-.

4.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that because of severe financial constraints, the petitioner is unable to arrange the required money for the above purpose and therefore, despite being granted bail since more than a month back, he is still languishing in jail custody.

modified only to the extent that instead of cash security of Rs.20,000/-, the petitioner shall furnish cash security of Rs.5,000/- with all other conditions remaining intact.
