Judgment V. K Gupta, J. 1. With the consent of the parties, this petition is taken up today for final disposal and upon hearing the parties, it is finally disposed of. 2. The learned Judge, 3rd Special Court, Calcutta vide his order dated 13th November, 1996, while admitting the petitioner to Bail, directed him to furnish Bail Bond in the amount of Rs. 2,00,000/- with 4 sureties in the amount of Rs. 50,000/- each, two of whom must be local persons. 3. Upon hearing the parties and after giving due consideration of the case, I find that the learned Court below perhaps fixed too excessive amount for the Bail Bond and the Sureties, particularly in the light of the fact that other co-accused persons in the same case were directed to furnish Bail Bonds and Sureties in much lesser amounts. The purpose of directing the accused to furnish Bail Bonds and Sureties for admitting them to Bail is not to fix such high amount as to operate as a measure so stringent which may amount to denial of Bail to the accused. In the case before us, the interests of justice shall be properly served if the petitioner is directed to be released on Bail on his furnishing Bail Bond in the amount of Rs. 25,000/- with two sureties in the like amount subject to the satisfaction of the learned Special Judge, 3rd Court, Calcutta which I order accordingly. 4. The petition is thus disposed of as indicated above. Let a plain copy of this order counter-signed by the Assistant Registrar (Court) be given to the learned Advocate for the Petitioner for communication before the learned Court below. Application disposed of.
