Hon’ble Mr. Justice Mohan M. Shantanagoudar pronounced the judgment of the Court comprising Hon’ble Mr. Justice Uday Umesh Lalit, His Lordship and Hon’ble Mr. Justice Vineet Saran. The Court held as under:

“Leave Granted.

…………

Hence the impugned judgment of the High Court stands set aside and the Trial Court judgment stands confirmed. However, we additionally direct that apart from furnishing the sureties as directed by the Trial Court, the Appellant-accused should also surrender his passport, undertake to report to the Respondent Directorate when required for purposes of investigation, and also undertake to not leave Chennai city limits without the leave of the Trial Court. This should alleviate any concerns about the Appellant absconding from the jurisdiction of the Court.”

The appeal is allowed in terms of the signed reportable judgment.

Pending application(s), if any, stands disposed of accordingly.
