Upon the deposit being made, the trial court will invest it by way of a fixed

deposit with any nationalised bank. In the event the petitioner is convicted of

any of the charges, the total amount (inclusive of interest) will be made over to

the victim. If, however, charges are not pressed against the petitioner or the

petitioner is acquitted thereof at the trial, the entire money, together with

interest then accrued thereon, will be refunded by the trial court to the

petitioner herein.

Subject to the above, in the event of arrest, the petitioner will be granted

bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) with two

sureties of Rs. 5,000/- (Rupees five thousand only) each, one of whom must be

local, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer, subject to the conditions as laid

down in Section 438 (2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. In addition,

the petitioner will attend the trial on every day fixed and any default on the

petitioner’s part will entitle the trial court to cancel the bail without further

reference to this Court.
