========================= Bail Application No. 3277 of 2013 ============================ Dated this the 25th February, 2014 ORDER
Petitioners are accused 1 to 11 in Crime No. 240 of 2013 of the Erumapetty police station for the offences punishable under Secs. 406, 417, 418, 420, 465, 466, 467 and 474 of the Penal Code, apprehend arrest and have filed this application.
2. Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the application. It is submitted that the petitioners 1 and 2 entered into an agreement for sale of the property of the de facto complainant on the strength of a patta which was cancelled in the year, 2009. Petitioner committed forgery with respect to the tax receipt by adding properties covered by the cancelled patta.
3. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the de facto complainant.
4. Learned counsel have submitted that the inter se dispute between the petitioners and the de facto B.A No. 3277 of 2013 2 complainant is settled and that another item of property is assigned to the de facto complainant. What remains is only the allegations regarding forgery. Having regard to the relevant circumstances, I am inclined to grant relief to the petitioners but subject to conditions so that investigation is not affected. Application is allowed as under:
1. Petitioners shall surrender before the officer investigating Crime No. 240 of 2013 of the Erumapetty police station on 03.03.2014 at 10:00 a.m. for interrogation. 2) In case interrogation is not completed that day, the petitioners shall report to the investigating officer as may be directed by the investigating officer at all reasonable time and places. 3) Petitioners shall co-operate with the investigation of the case and make available to the investigating officer all relevant records which are in their custody, control and possession. 3) In case arrest of the petitioners is recorded, they shall be produced before the jurisdictional magistrate the same day. 4) On such production, the petitioners shall be released B.A No. 3277 of 2013 3 on bail (if not required to be detained otherwise) in Crime No. 240 of 2013 of the Erumapetty police station on their executing bond for Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty five thousand only) each with two sureties each for the like sum each to the satisfaction of the learned magistrate and subject to the following conditions:- a) Petitioners shall report to the investigating officer as and when required for interrogation. b) Petitioners shall co-operate with the investigation. during the period of this bail. c) It is made clear that in case any of the above condition is violated, it is open to the Investigating Officer to seek cancellation of the bail granted hereby by moving application before the learned magistrate as held in P.K.
