THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR ORDERS, THIS DAY,
THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING:
ORDER
Learned HCGP takes notice for respondent.
2. This petition is filed petitioner/accused No.3,
under Section 439(1)(b) read with 482 of Cr.P.C., for
modification of the condition No.1 in the bail granted by
this court in Crl.P.No.101086/2022 dated 08.06.2022.
3. Heard the arguments of learned counsel for the
petitioner and learned HCGP for the State.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits this
court had granted bail, long back. He is in custody for
more than three years. He has offered surety on
01.07.2022, but the surety is not acceptable by the trial
court, therefore, he is ready to give local sureties. Hence,
prayed for modification of the condition No.1 passed by
this court in the aforementioned judgment.
NC: 2024:KHC-D:7589
5. Per contra, learned HCGP seriously objected the
petition contending that, if he is released on bail he may
abscond. He is from Uttar Pradesh. Therefore, this court
had rightly imposed the condition to give two sureties, one
surety from the local and another surety from the native
place of the petitioner. Hence, prayed for dismissing the
petition.
6. Having heard the arguments and perused the
records, especially the order sheet dated 1.7.2022
produced by the learned counsel for the petitioner which
reveals, the petitioners have produced affidavit of two
sureties namely Ajrudin Noordin Bishambhara and
Mahaling Channappa Kulali. The trial court has held that
the documents i.e., RTC extract produced discloses that
the lands are standing in the name of joint holders and not
exclusively in the name of these sureties. Hence surety
was rejected and ordered to furnish fresh surety.
NC: 2024:KHC-D:7589
7. Considering the facts of the case, as the
petitioner is from the Uttar Pradesh and they have
committed the dacoity/robbery in Karnataka. This court
granted bail by considering various aspects on
08.06.2022. However, the petitioner not released from
the jail in spite of granting the bail. Considering the fact
and circumstance of the case, I am of the view, the
condition requires to be modified. The condition requires
to be modified to two local sureties to the satisfaction of
the trial court.
Accordingly, this petition is allowed.
The condition No.1 regarding surety offering which is
as below,
1. The petitioner shall execute a personal bond for a sum of Rs.2,00,000/-(Rupees Two lakhs only) two sureties for the likesum to the satisfaction of the Trial Court. Out of which one surety from his relative of his native place and another surety is local surety" surety from local and another surety from native place"
