BY THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM REP. BY THE SUB INSPECTOR OF POLICE SULTHAN BATHERY POLICE STATION IN CRIME NO.813/2013. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SMT. LALIZA T.Y. THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON0511-2013, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Mn THOMAS P. JOSEPH, J.
-------------------------------- Bail Appl. No.7235 of 2013 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 5th day of November 2013 ORDER
Petitioners are accused 1, 2 and 4 to 9, in Crime No. 813 of 2013 of the Sulthan Bathery Police station for the offences punishable under Secs.143, 147, 148, 324 and 326 read with Sec.149 of the Indian Penal Code, apprehend arrest and have filed this application for pre arrest bail.
2. Learned Public Prosecutor has submitted that on 04.09.2013 at about 7.30 p.m., the petitioners and others attacked the defacto complainant and others with iron rod, stones etc. causing fracture of the ulna. It is submitted that the petitioners are involved in Crime No.667 of 2012 for the offences under Secs.341, 323 and 324 while the 2nd petitioner is further involved in Crime No.853 of 2013, both of the same Police station, for similar offences. Final reports have filed in the said cases. The weapons (allegedly) used in the incident are to be recovered.
3. Learned counsel submits that the defacto Bail Appl. No.7235 of 2013 2 complainant and others attacked the petitioner and others due to political animosity for which Crime No.812 of 2013 is registered for the offences under Secs.143, 147, 148, 341, 323 and 324 read with Sec.149 of the IPC and that after the defacto complainant and others got regular bail, the offence under Sec.326 is incorporated in that case.
4. Having regard to the circumstance of the case, I am not inclined to think that the petitioners should be granted an order for pre-arrest bail. Petitioners have either to surrender before the investigating officer or before the Court concerned and seek regular bail.
5. In case the petitioners surrender before the investigating officer, after questioning is over, they shall be produced before the jurisdictional magistrate as early as possible. The application is disposed of with the above directions. Sd/- THOMAS P. JOSEPH JUDGE NS
