Holding
The Court granted provisional bail to the petitioners subject to the conditions specified under Section 482(2) of the CrPC.
Summary
The petitioners, Ravis Kumar Raju and Pramod Kumar Sharma, were arrested in a case registered under Sections 409, 420, 406 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. They filed a petition seeking provisional bail, fearing continued detention. The High Court examined the nature of the offences, the amount of bail bond proposed, and the conditions prescribed under Section 482(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code. The Court held that the petitioners were entitled to provisional bail, subject to a bond of Rs.10,000 each with two sureties and additional conditions regarding larger deposits. Consequently, the Court ordered provisional bail for a period of two years, subject to compliance with the stipulated conditions.
