The Applicant is granted bail by order dated 30th July 2025. His contention about inability to furnish sureties deserves to be accepted as the Applicant would not like to stay behind the bars without any reason. Having regard to the same, the Applicant be enlarged on Cash Bail of Rs.25,000/- till 30th June, 2026. 5.

The Applicant shall furnish one or two local sureties in the like amount as directed by this Court in its order dated 10th October 2025 before 30th June 2026.

6.

For whatsoever reason the Applicant is unable to furnish said sureties, this order shall stand vacated and the Applicant would be taken into custody.

7.

In order to ensure that the Applicant does not go absconding, he is directed to attend the concerned Police Station once in fifteen days till 30th June, 2026.

8.

Interim Application stands partially allowed in the above terms and is disposed of.
