Considering that the Applicant has been regularly attending the office of the DCB CID Unit No.10 for the past two years and that the charges are not yet framed, I am inclined to modify the said condition. The modified condition shall read as under:

"The Applicant shall report to the office of the DCB CID Unit No.10 on the first Monday of every third month between 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., till the charges are framed."

Rest of the order remains as it is.
