          the petitioner, above named, be released on bail upon furnishing

          being released on bail is directed to mark his attendance at

          Dulhin Bazar Police Station on every Sunday of each month.

          Any default in appearance at the police station will result in

          cancellation of bail bonds of the petitioner.

                    the petitioner is directed to verify the antecedent of the

                    petitioner. If the petitioner is found to be involved in any other

                    case then the bail bonds of the petitioner shall not be accepted.

                    any subsequent stage of the trial and this Court has not

                    expressed any opinion on the merits of the case.
