AI SummaryAllowed

Held

The High Court found that the petitioner had scrupulously complied with bail conditions for four months and the investigation was practically complete. It set aside the Magistrate's order and lifted the restrictive bail condition, allowing the petitioner to leave the territorial jurisdiction of Thrissur.

Facts

The petitioner was granted bail by the High Court with a condition restricting him from leaving the territorial jurisdiction of the Court of Session, Thrissur. He sought modification of this condition from the Chief Judicial Magistrate to operate his financial consultancy business in Ernakulam, but his application was dismissed.

Key Issues

Whether a bail condition restricting the petitioner's movement can be modified or lifted when the investigation is substantially complete and the petitioner has complied with other conditions.
