The petitioners are the accused Nos.1 to 6 in Crime No.118 of 2014 on the file of the Chalakudy Police Station. The first respondent is the de-facto complainant in the above case. The offences alleged against the petitioners are under Sections 143, 147,148, 341, 323, 324, 308 of the Indian Penal Code (for short 'the IPC') read with Section 149 of the IPC. The allegation is that the de-facto complainant belongs to the CPIM party and the petitioners/accused belong to BJP party. On 14.1.2014, at about 23.45 hrs. the complainant and his friends went to Kottai Unnickal Bhagavathi Temple, Elinjipra Bail Application No.923 of 2014 :2: near Chalakudy to watch the Mega Show conducted in connection with the temple festival. A dispute arose between the team of the complainant and accused, and the accused attacked him with stone and iron road and the complainant suffered injuries. The complainant was admitted in the St.James Hospital, Chalakudy and on the basis of the first information statement of the first respondent, a crime was registered on the files of Chalakudy Police Station against the petitioners alleging offences under 143, 147,148, 341, 323, 324, 308 of the IPC read with Section 149 of the IPC.
3. The learned counsel for the de-facto complainant submitted that the matter is settled between the parties and that the first respondent has no objection in granting anticipatory bail. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that the arrest and detention of the petitioners is not required for the purpose of the investigation. Hence this bail application is allowed. Bail Application No.923 of 2014 :3: It is hereby directed that in the event of arrest of the petitioners in connection with the above case, they shall be released on bail on executing bond for `25,000/- each with two sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the officer effecting arrest. The petitioners are directed to appear before the Investigating Officer as and when required. It is made clear that if the petitioners surrender before the Judicial First Class Magistrate having jurisdiction, within 30 days from today, they shall be released on bail on executing bond for `25,000/- each with two sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the Judicial First Class Magistrate. In that case also, the petitioners are directed to appear before the Investigating Officer as and when required. Sd/ M. L. JOSEPH FRANCIS, (JUDGE) dl/ // TRUE COPY //
