Mr. Solkar has invited my attention to the order dated 28th February 2025, whereby condition (vi) was already substituted. The substituted condition reads thus: "(vi) Applicant is permitted to leave territorial limits of Thane District with permission of Sessions Court." 4.

Mr. Solkar further submits that the stage of trial is that the statement of the accused under Section 313 of the Cr.P.C. has been recorded one and half year ago. In these circumstances, she submits that conditions (iii) and (vii) are causing prejudice to the Applicant.

For the reasons mentioned in the Application, I am inclined to delete conditions (iii) and (vii) and it is ordered

accordingly. Condition (vi) shall remain as modified by the order dated 28th February 2025.

6.

The present Interim Application is partly allowed and disposed of accordingly.
