This petition has been filed for modification of the condition imposed by the learned Judicial Magistrate-II, Coimbatore, in Crl.M.P.No.6172 of 2018 dated 22.11.2018.

The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that the petitioners were arrested and remanded on 01.11.2018. He would further submit that the petitioners are innocent and have not committed any offence and the charged offence is civil nature. There is a civil suit is pending before civil Court as well before this Court. Further the co-accused were released on bail by this Court. Hence the petitioners prayed to grant bail before the Judicial Magistrate-II, Coimbatore. Unfortunately, the learned trial Judge had imposed the following conditions while granting bail in CMP No.6172 of 2018 dated 22.11.2018:

¶10

“The petitioners shall execute a bond for Rs.10,000/- along with two sureties each to the like sum amount and the petitioners shall appear before the respondent police station

daily at 10.00 a.m. until further orders “

In furtherance to the above cited order, the petitioners are regularly complying with the order. Whereas, the respondent is unnecessarily withholding the petitioners in the police station and they were restrained in the station for more than 5 hours. Therefore, he sought for modification of the condition imposed by the learned Judicial Magistrate-II, Coimbatore, in CMP No.6172 of 2018 dated 22.11.2018.
