has been passed by the learned Principal District and Sessions

Judge, Pudukkottai, in Cr.M.P.No.4140 of 2021, dated 20.10.2021.

further orders and insofar as relaxation & modification of condition

is concerned, the petitioners should approach the learned Judicial

they have approached the learned Judicial Magistrate,

Gandarvakkottai, since the order of anticipatory bail was passed by

the learned Principal District and Sessions Judge, Pudukkottai, they

were directed to approach the District Court.

4.It appears that the grievance expressed by the learned

counsel for the petitioners is genuine one. So, that portion of the

modification is set aside and the petition is allowed. In case of

relaxation and modification, he can approach only the learned

Principal District and Sessions Judge, Pudukkottai. The other

conditions shall remain unaltered.
