As per the order of the learned Magistrate dated 17.03.2026, she was directed to produce blood surety and a local surety. He further submitted that the petitioner has no acquaintance in Puducherry and therefore, the question of production of local surety is practically impossible. 3. The learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent has objected to the said contention. 4. Considering the submissions made on either sides and the nature of the offence, though the learned Special Public Prosecutor (Puducherry) has objected, while looking at the factual position, this Court is inclined to modify the condition imposed in Cr.M.P.No.708 of 2025 dated 17.03.2026 by the learned Judicial Magistrate-VII, Puducherry. The petitioner is relaxed from providing local sureties. The other conditions imposed earlier shall remain unaltered. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 9352 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 4 5.
