ORDER
Dated this the 30th day of October, 2023 Apprehending arrest in Crime No.1069 of 2023 of Kannanalloor Police Station, Kollam, registered for offences under Sections 341, 294(b), 324 and 308 of the Indian Penal Code, the accused has filed this petition.
2. The prosecution allegation is that on 22.08.2023 at
about 2.45 p.m., the accused wrongfully restrained the injured Shiju and attacked his head with a stick. Due to the blow, the victim sustained injuries on his head. The accused thereby committed the aforementioned offences.
3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor were heard.
4. Considering the allegations against the petitioner and also the injuries allegedly inflicted, which are seen from the wound certificate dated 22.8.2023, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail as it will adversely affect a proper investigation.
5. Therefore, the following directions are issued:- B.A.No.9206 of 2023 :3: In the event the petitioner surrenders before the
Investigating Officer in two weeks, he shall be interrogated and thereafter, shall be produced before the Magistrate having jurisdiction on the date of surrender itself. If the petitioner moves for bail, the court below shall, untrammelled by any of the observations in this order, consider the bail application on merits, as expeditiously as possible. If the petitioner does not surrender before the Investigating Officer, as directed above, the Investigating Officer will be free to arrest the petitioner as if no order has been passed in this case.
The bail application is disposed of as above. Sd/- MOHAMMED NIAS C.P., JUDGE mtk B.A.No.9206 of 2023 :4: APPENDIX OF BAIL APPL. 9206/2023 PETITIONER ANNEXURES THE TRUE COPY OF THE FIR IN CRIME NO.
