per the common order dated 18.11.2014 in Crl.M.P.No.4137/2014 and other petitions, he was granted bail by the learned Sessions Judge, Kasaragod on certain conditions. He is aggrieved by one of the conditions that he shall report before the Dy.S.P.(Administration) on all Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays till final report is filed. He seeks orders from this Court cancelling or modifying the condition.

¶32

On hearing both sides, and on consideration of various aspects including the other crimes and the progress of investigation, I find that the condition cannot be cancelled. However, in the present circumstance, it can be modified appropriately. As done in the other crime, he can be directed to report before the Dy.S.P.(Administration) on all Mondays, till the
