Cash security for foreign travel: High Court upheld reduced security and refused further interference.

The Court declined to interfere with the Sessions Court's order reducing the additional cash security required as a condition for permission to travel abroad. Although the Sessions Court should not have recorded that the reduction was made with the consent of both sides without written consent, the reduction of the security amount to Rs. 6 lakhs was found justified. The applicant's request to further reduce or substitute the security with another form of assurance was rejected, as no sufficient ground for further interference was made out.

Issues: Whether the Court should interfere with the Sessions Court's order reducing the additional cash security to be deposited as a condition for permitting the applicant to go abroad.

Analysis: The application challenged the additional condition of cash security and sought reduction or substitution by another form of security. The Court noted that although the Sessions Court ought not to have recorded that the reduction was made with the consent of both sides in the absence of written consent, the reduction of the security amount to Rs. 6 lakhs was nevertheless justified. No ground was made out for further interference with the order.

Conclusion: The request for interference was rejected and the order reducing the cash security was maintained.
