The petitioner shall inform the Inspector-in-charge and/or Officer-in-charge of the Bhaktinagar Police Station and shall stay outside the jurisdiction of the said police station on and from 10.01.2026. The petitioner shall also once in a week for a period of next three months meet with the Inspector-in-charge of the Bhaktinagar Police Station or any other officer deputed by him and for such limited purpose he would enter the jurisdiction of Bhaktinagar Police Station.
