Ms. Singh submits that the Applicant is a watchman and is a resident of Nepal. She submits that till date the charges have not been framed. She submits that since the Applicant is working as a watchman it is very difficult for him to attend the police station twice in every month. 4.

Considering the submissions made by both the counsel, I am inclined to allow the Applicant to the extent that the Applicant shall report to the concerned police station on 15th day of every alternate month between 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.

5.

Rest of the order shall remain as it is.

6.

Interim Application is partly allowed in the aforesaid terms and is disposed of.
