ORDER 1. Heard Ms. Nitya Ramakrishnan, learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. S. V. Raju, learned Additional Solicitor General for the respondent. 2. It is pointed out in reference to our order dated 10.11.2022 that it will take minimum six weeks to secure the solvency certificate in respect of surety to be provided as a pre-condition for the house arrest of the petitioner. 3. Considering the submission and the circumstances, we deem it appropriate to waive the requirement of a solvency certificate for the petitioner to avail the benefit of our order dated 10.11.2022. It is ordered accordingly. 4. Since other adequate security proofs such as passport, AADHAR card and PAN card have been provided, the trial Court should not insist on a ration card as an additional proof of identity for the benefit of this Court's order. It is so ordered.
