GOLLAPALLI MAHESWARA RAO Counsel for the Respondent/complainant: 1.PUBLIC PROSECUTOR The Coult made the following Order: The Criminal Petition has been filed by the Petitioner herein, seeking modification of the conditions in the order vide crl.M.P.No.13 of 2025 dated 24.01.2025 on the file Of the learned I Additional District & Sessions Judge-Gum-Special Judge for Trial of Offences under NDPS Act, Visakapatnam. 2. Originally, the petitioner herein has filed a petition for grant of regular bail in Crime No.254 of 2O24 of II Town Police Station, visakhapatnam city. By an order, dated '24.01.2025, the I Additional District & Sessions Judge-Special Judge for Trial of offences under NDPS Act, Visakapatnam allowed the Said Petition by imposing certain conditions. Aggrieved by the Said COnditiOnS imposed by the learned Sessions Judge, the Present Criminal _z3P tq ., +_A 2 r/ petition is preferred by the petitioner to modify the conditions imposed while granting bail. 3. It is submitted that despite grant Of bail by the learned sessions Judge, Visakhapatham in Crl.M.P.No.13 of 2025, _petitioner could not furnish suret-les for Rs.1,00,000/- with two sureties to I-he satisfact:ion of the II Additional Chief Judicial 'Magistrate, Visakhapatnam. He further contends that the petitioner belonged to poor family. Due to the Said reason, the petitioner is unable to furnish the surety for Rs.1,00,000/-. Moreover, the contraband said to be involved in this Case iS 1.5 Kgs of Ganja. In the said facts of the case, Petitioner requests tO consider his -case on humanitarian grounds. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner relied On a decision reported in SMWP (Criminal) No,4 of 2021 dated 31.01.2023 on the file of the HonJble Supreme Court wherein it iS Observed that "if the bail bonds are not furnished within one month from the date of grant ba-ll, the concerned court may suo-motu take up the case and consider whether the conditions of bai/ requ-Ire modification/relaxation''. 5. It seems that the Court which granted bai'l tO thePetitiOner in this crime has not taken such steps, thereby forced the petitioner to approach this court. There is nothing On record tO `,-` ~ E|J+rf •.\'±.. 3 Jrr show that the sa-ld submiss-,ons are incorrect, as such th'ls court is inclined to mod-lfy the bail conditions. 6. In the result, the Cr-lm-,nat Pet®ltiOn -lS allowed and the pet-ltioner sha" be released on bail on his executing bond for Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand Only) With OneJ surety for the like sum each to the satisfaction of the learned II Additional Chief Judicial Mag-,Strate, VisakhaPatnam. It is hereby made Clear that the other cond-ltions imposed by the court below sha" remain Same.
