ORDER
This is an application for regular bail.
2. Petitioner is the 1st accused in Crime No.917 of 2022 of Mala Police Station, Thrissur, alleging the commission of offences punishable under Sections 341, 323, 308 and 324 read with Section 34 IPC.
3. The prosecution allegation is that on 29.08.2022, 1 st accused along
with three others attacked the defacto complainant, caused hurt to him by beating and stabbing him with a bottle. The petitioner is in custody from 30.08.2022. Petitioner submits that he has been falsely implicated in the above-said crime.
4. A report has been filed by the learned Public Prosecutor along with a
memo stating that the petitioner has an active role in the commission of the offence and the petitioner is a goonda leader who is included in the rowdy list of Mala Police Station and he is involved in 31 cases in various stations in Kerala and that two times Kappa proceedings were also initiated against him. It is further reported that if the petitioner is granted bail, there is every chance for threatening and manhandling the witnesses and taking into consideration the criminal antecedents there is every chance for him to get
BA No.363 of 2024 3 involved in crimes of similar nature. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that in many of the previous cases, in which he is involved, he has been acquitted. Taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner has an active role
in the commission of the offence and that he has serious criminal antecedents and the apprehension raised by the learned Public Prosecutor that if the petitioner is granted bail there is every chance for threatening and manhandling the witnesses and getting involved in crimes of similar nature, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.
Bail application is accordingly dismissed. Sd/- VIJU ABRAHAM JUDGE cks
