Heard.

The learned counsel for the applicant submits that Condition Nos.(3) and (5) of the order dated 11/07/2025 be relaxed, The said conditions reads thus:- "(3) The applicant shall attend the police station twice a month i.e. 1st and 15th of every month, till conclusion of the trial, and shall cooperate with the investigating agency.

(5) The applicant shall not leave the jurisdiction of Yavatmal District without prior permission of the District Judge at Yavatmal." The learned counsel submits that the daughter of the applicant has now taken admission in

Pune and is residing there, and therefore, it is necessary for the applicant, being her mother, to reside with her. So far as the condition No.(3) is concerned, now the substantial period is over since 11/07/2025, i.e., on the date on which the order was passed, the applicant has abided the said conditions till date and in view of the fact that the applicant wants to reside with her daughter in Pune, it is very difficult for her to abide by the aforesaid conditions, and therefore, condition Nos.(3) and (5) be relaxed. 3.

On the other hand, the learned A.P.P.

submits that when the bail was granted, the applicant happily accepted the said conditions and now they are asking for relaxation of these conditions. He further submits that so far as condition No.(5) is concerned, the applicant can apply before the District Judge at Yavatmal for leaving the jurisdiction of Yavatmal, and therefore, he submits that there is no merit in the application and same be rejected. 4.

I have considered the rival submissions.

Admittedly, from the record and specifically from the receipt No. 6371153, it appears that, the daughter of the applicant has taken admission in first year of Under Graduate Technical Course in B.Pharmacy and Post Graduate Pharm.D for the Academic Year 20252026 in the Dr. D.Y. Patil College of Pharmacy, Akurdi, Pune. It further appears that, the applicant had also placed on record the identity card of the said

college. Considering the fact that the daughter of the applicant is now taking education at Pune and the fact that the applicant desires to reside with her being her mother, I am inclined to relax Condition No.(3). 5.

So far as condition No.(5) is concerned, since condition No.(3) is relaxed, it is necessary to relax condition No.(5) also, otherwise no purpose would be served.

6.

Considering the above, I am inclined to relax condition Nos.(3) and (5).

7.

With these observations, the application is allowed. Condition Nos.(3) and (5) are hereby relaxed, application is disposed of accordingly. [ M.M. NERLIKAR, J ] Piyush Mahajan
