## RULING

The accused is charged with the offence of Murder o/s 18方 of Penal Code• He first appeared in Court on the said charge on 2nd January, 1987 and has been on remand since then.

I gather from the learned State Attorney that V/andegeya police Station has not submitted to the D. P. P. the police file for perusal and decision as to the fate of the charges against the accused. He therefore does not oppose release on bail.

The accused has been on remand for an aggregate period of 38% months. There is no prospect of his being comitted to the High Court for trial soon.

In the ciroumstances the accused quolifies for release on bail in terms of Section 14a of the T. I. D. 197 as amended.

As the Attorney does not oppose the application the accused is released on bail on the following conditions:-

- (a) He shall deposit cash Shs. 50,000/= in Court. - (b) His tv/o surities are to be bound in the sum of Shs• 200,000/= not cash. - (c) Accused to report to Buganda Road Chief Magistrate &gt; s Court after every 30 days from the date he fulfills those conditions until his case is otherv/ise dealt with.

If he does not fulfill these conditions he is to go back on .

remand.
