Provisions expressly mentioned in the judgment/order text.
The Court allowed the petition, modifying the bail order to remove the condition related to the transmission and suspension of the applicant's passport. The applicant was relieved from the requirement to transmit the passport to the Passport Office or suspend it until the trial's conclusion. This modification resolved the applicant's grievance and allowed compliance with the condition restricting international travel without the Trial Court's permission.
Issues: 1. Grievance regarding condition imposed in bail order dated 26.10.2017.
Analysis: The applicant's grievance pertained to a condition imposed in a bail order dated 26.10.2017, specifically related to the transmission and suspension of the applicant's passport. The applicant had deposited the passport with the C.B.I., which then submitted it before the Judicial Magistrate. However, due to non-compliance with the condition, the Judicial Magistrate refused to accept the bail bond, causing the applicant to remain in jail even after bail was granted by the Court.
The applicant's counsel argued that the applicant had no objection to the part of the condition restricting him from leaving the country without the Trial Court's permission. The applicant expressed willingness to comply with this aspect of the condition. The respondent's counsel did not object to the applicant's submission.
Considering the circumstances and the applicant's grievance, the Court allowed the petition. The order dated 26.10.2017 was modified to omit the specific words related to the transmission and suspension of the passport mentioned in condition no.1. The Court clarified that the applicant would not be required to transmit the passport to the Passport Office or have it suspended until the trial's conclusion.
As a result of the modification, the applicant's petition was disposed of, providing relief from the contentious condition imposed in the bail order.
