Upon hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, it appears that the grievance of the petitioner is that this Court, while granting anticipatory bail to the petitioner in Crl.O.P.No.11474 of 2026 by order dated 20.05.2026, had directed the petitioner to surrender before the Trial Court, execute a bond and produce two sureties for a sum of Rs.10,000/- each to the satisfaction of the learned Principal District Judge, Kallakurichi. However, when the petitioner attempted to comply with the said direction, the Trial Court did not accept the sureties on the ground that they had not produced solvency certificates for the said amount. The learned counsel would submit that the persons volunteering to stand as sureties are poor and are unable to obtain solvency certificates for Rs.10,000/-. Hence, the petitioner is unable to comply with the condition imposed by this Court. 3. In view of the above, this Criminal Original Petition is disposed of with the following directions: (i) The condition imposed in paragraph No.7(i) of the order dated 20.05.2026 passed in Crl.O.P.No.11474 of 2026, requiring the petitioner to execute a bond with two sureties for a sum of Rs.10,000/- each, is modified. The petitioner shall execute a bond with two sureties for a sum of Rs.3,000/- each. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 16693 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 4 (ii) In view of the modification of the above condition, the petitioner is granted a further period of fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of a web-copy of this order to comply with the directions issued in Crl.O.P.No.11474 of 2026. 4.
