O R D E R
This is an application for regular bail filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
2. The petitioner is the sole accused in Crime
No.205/2021 of Vizhinjam Police Station, Thiruvananthapuram. The case was registered against the petitioner alleging offence punishable under Sections 294(b), 341, 323, 324, 307 and 506(i) of IPC. The victim in the case is none other than the wife of the petitioner. It is seems that the crime was registered on the basis of the First Information Statement given by the 24 years old son of the victim.
3. I heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Public Prosecutor.
4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that
he has no criminal antecedents, he was arrested on 07.02.2021 and for the last 68 days he is in custody; he is also ready to abide by any condition imposed by this Court.
5. The learned Public Prosecutor seriously opposed the
application. According to him, there was an earlier attempt on the life of the victim by the petitioner by pouring petrol on her and to set her ablaze. That means, this is the second attempt on the life of the wife. In the present incident, she has suffered very serious injuries and had been in intensive care for long. They have some family disputes also.
In the circumstances, it is hazardous to release the petitioner on bail. Therefore, this bail application is dismissed. Sd/- K.HARIPAL JUDGE VPK
