Case No. 17 of 2007 registered with Naroda Police Station, Ahmedabad, on the ground that the respondent No. 2 - accused has breached the conditions which were imposed in the order passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge while granting the bail to the respondent No. 2.

E2117282 which was issued on 12. 6. 2002 and thereby the respondent no. 2 has committed the breach of conditions imposed by the learned Judge while granting bail to him. Mr. Rupera has also contended that the respondent No. 2 had visited Dubai (out of India) from 17. 8. 2008 to 23. 8. 2008 without the prior permission of the Court concerned and thereby the respondent No. 2 has breached the condition of the order passed by the learned Judge "that he shall not leave India without the prior permission of the Court". He has also contended that the applicant has informed to the respondent No. 3 about the breach of conditions of bail order committed by the respondent No. 2 - accused and also made a request in writing that immediate action be taken against the respondent no. 2, but the Investigating Officer has not taken any action. He has also contended that he obtained information under the provisions of Right to Information Act and from that information he came to know that the respondent No. 2 has not surrendered his original passport and also not obtained any prior permission to go abroad. He, therefore, contended that the respondent No. 2 has disobeyed the order passed by the learned judge.
