Heard Mr. Dighe, learned appointed Advocate for Applicant; Ms. Phad, learned APP for Respondent No.1 – State and Ms. Balasubramanian, learned appointed Advocate for Respondent No.2. 2. In view of the previous order dated 21.08.2026, the learned appointed Advocate has persuaded the Court to consider the Application because notwithstanding that order, Applicant is still incarcerated in jail in view of non-compliance of condition No.(b). I have perused the said condition. I have heard both the learned appointed Advocates for Applicant and Respondent No.2. It is an irony that despite the bail order, Applicant has not been able to pay the amount for bail, neither there is any person to help the Applicant. 1 of 2 33.IA.2210.2026.doc 3. Since Applicant has not being able to comply with condition No.(b), I am inclined to allow the Application and modify condition No.(b) as hereinunder:- “bi) Applicant be released forthwith. Upon release, the Applicant be permitted to furnish cash bail and P.R. Bond of Rs.5,000/- within two months after his release.” 4. The original condition No.(b) in the order dated 21.04.2026 stands deleted and substituted by the above condition. Rest of the order remains the same. 5. With the above directions, Interim Application is allowed and disposed. H. H. SAWANT [ MILIND N.
