Therefore, he is granted the privilege of pre-arrest bail. Accordingly, it is provided that in the event of arrest of the petitioner, above named, in connection with the case aforementioned, he shall be released on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/-, with a suitable surety of the like amount, to the satisfaction of arresting authority.

The petition stands disposed of accordingly. Return the case diary. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
