ORDER
Dated this the 7th day of April 2021 Petitioner is the 1st accused in Crime No.263 of 2021 of Mannar Police Station, Alappuzha. He is indicted for the offences under Sections 143, 147, 148, 294(b), 452, 323, 324 and 307 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code.
2. The gist of the prosecution case as against the 1st
accused is that he trespassed into the hall room of the house of the de facto complainant along with other accused and he assaulted the son of the de facto complainant on the head due to which he sustained serious injuries. He is a young boy of 20 years.
3. The learned Public Prosecutor opposes the grant of anticipatory bail. It is also submitted that there are criminal antecedents as against the petitioner.
4. Taking note of the circumstances, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
5. However, if the petitioner surrenders before the investigating officer on any date within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, the investigating officer
shall carry out the interrogation of the petitioner on the same day itself. If after interrogation, the investigating officer is satisfied that the petitioner is required to be arrested, the petitioner shall be produced before the Jurisdictional Magistrate preferably on the date of arrest itself. If the petitioner files any application for bail before the Jurisdictional Magistrate consequent to such recording of arrest, the learned Magistrate shall consider the application expeditiously in a time bound manner. This bail application is dismissed with the above observations.
