¶17

According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, no Government servant has come forward to give surety, and therefore, he is not able to execute a bond. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that there are three cases against this petitioner and that the co-accused, who was released on bail in this case, also not complied with the bail conditions.

¶18

Under such circumstances, this is not a fit case to interfere and hence this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. However, liberty is given to the petitioner to approach the Judicial Magistrate Court, Katpadi, Vellore and file an application for modification of the order dated 02.06.2016 in Crl.M.P.No.1976 of 2016.
