Mr. Hamzah Kazi, learned counsel appearing for the Applicant, submits that the Applicant is a permanent resident of Muradabad, Delhi and he is put to tremendous expense and loss of wages when he has to travel from Muradabad to Mumbai every month to report to the Investigating Officer.

Having heard both the parties, I am of the view that since the trial has not progressed and even charges are not framed and also considering that the Applicant has complied with the conditions till date, interest of justice will be subserved if the said clause is modified to the extent that in stead of reporting to the Investigating Officer in Mumbai on every Monday of each month, the Applicant attends the police station at Nagphani in District: Muradabad, Delhi on first Monday of every month between 11.00 a.m. and 1.00 p.m. It is also made clear that if the Investigating Officer requires the Applicant's attendance at the Police Station in Mumbai, the Applicant will report to the Investigating Officer in Mumbai. 5.

Rest of the order remains as it is.

Interim Application is partly allowed and accordingly, disposed of.
