Petitioner is accused in Crime No.670 of 2014 of the Panangadu Police station for the offences punishable under Secs.269, 272 and 328 of the IPC for alleged sale of spuriously ripened mangoes with calcium carbide, is in custody from 19.04.2014 and seeks bail. 2. Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the application.
3. I have heard the learned Senior advocate appearing for the petitioner as well.
4. Having heard both sides and considering the stage of investigation, I am inclined to think that further custody of the petitioner is not required. Hence I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioner but subject to conditions.
The application is allowed as under.
Petitioner is granted bail in Crime No.670 of 2014 of the Panangadu Police station and shall be released (if not required to be detained otherwise) on his executing bond for Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty five thousand only) with two sureties for the like sum each to the satisfaction of the jurisdictional magistrate and subject to the following conditions.
