Gauhati High Court (Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Mazumdar), order dated 17.03.2026 in I.A.(Crl.)/284/2026 (Saidul Islam v. The State of Assam): Interlocutory Application seeking modification/alteration of bail conditions imposed by this Court's order dated 23.02.2026 in B.A. No. 273/2026. Earlier, the petitioner's bailors/bail bond particulars had been rejected because the directions required at least one bailor to hold landed immovable property within the jurisdiction of the learned Jurisdictional Court. By this order, the Court (i) reduced the bail bond from Rs. 1,50,000/- to Rs. 75,000/- with two sureties of like amount, (ii) relaxed the territorial condition so that one surety need only hold immovable property in his name within the State of Assam, and (iii) expressly left all other conditions unmodified and unaltered; the Interlocutory Application stands disposed of. No statutes or precedent cases are cited in the order.
