3. Insofar as condition No. 26(C) is concerned, I prima facie do not agree with the said condition considering several such orders passed by this Court regarding the issue of surrendering passport. Said condition stands immediately deleted. 4. The decisions of this Court in the cases of Mohammad Hanif Nurani Vs. the State of Maharashtra and Anr.1 and Kirti Vishwanath Kedia Vs. Central Bureau of Investigation (EOB) and Anr.2 squarely cover the aforesaid request made by Applicant. I cannot take any digressing view in the present matter and therefore the said condition No.26(C) is deleted / cancelled and / or been scaled down to the effect that whenever Applicant has to travel abroad he will report or give the details of the itinerary, with detail address, with details of his stay abroad and return to the prosecution / CBI before he travels and leaves the country. If there is any change in his mobile phone numbers or address while being abroad, he shall furnish those details also on email to the concerned IO. 5. In that view of the matter, needless to state that his passport shall be forthwith returned back to him by the Court / Authority on the basis of a certified copy of this order downloaded from the Bombay High Court website. 1 Criminal Application No.434 of 2024 decided on 05.02.2025. 2 ABA No.960 of 2022 decided on 22.08.2025. 2 of 3

In that view of the matter, it is clarified that Applicant’s presence shall stands exempted.
