ORDER
Destruction of property is a form of violence. Nowadays, when criminal offences are committed, there is a tendency to damage the private properties of the victims, like their residential houses, household items, ofÏce items, etc. If a physical hurt is caused, it can be cured on some occasions by medication. But the destruction of property can be compensated only through money. However, the victims in criminal cases have to wait a long time to get compensation. If damages are caused to private properties by the assailants, can a condition be imposed to deposit the damages assessed by the Police as a condition for granting bail, subject to the result of the final decision in the investigation and also by a competent court, is the question to be decided in this case.
