recoveries are required to be effected at the instance of the bail applicant and also when Mr. Rahul Sharma, Dy. S.P. apprises this Court that investigation has come to an end. In face thereof and in face of the fact that at this stage no material has been placed on record by the prosecution disclosing that in case the facility of bail is accorded to the bail applicant, there is every likelihood of his fleeing from justice or tampering with prosecution evidence. As a sequel, the bail application is allowed and the order of 12.2.2014 is made absolute, subject to the fulfilling of the following conditions:
(i) That the bail applicant shall join the investigation, as and when required by the investigating agency;
(ii) That he shall not directly or indirectly advance any threat, inducement or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case and shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence.
(iii) That he shall not leave India without the prior permission of the Court.
(iv) That he shall deposit his passport, if any, with the Police Station, concerned;
(v) That in case of violation of any of these conditions, the bail granted to the petitioner shall be forfeited and he shall be liable to be taken into custody; and
(vi) That he shall apply for bail afresh when the challan is filed before the trial Court.
