ORDER
Petitioners are the accused in Crime No. 1217/2021 of Poovar police station in Thiruvananthapuram district. That crime was registered alleging offence under Sections 452, 294(b), 506(ii), 324, 326 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and also under Section 92(e) of the Right of Persons with Disabilities Act. It is alleged that on 26.06.2021 at 3.30 P.M., after making preparations, the petitioners trespassed into the residential premises of the defacto complainant, who is a physically handicapped person and uttered abuses against him, hurled rubble at his head and also caused him injuries. Now apprehending arrest, the petitioners have moved this Court under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that
in the incident, the first petitioner has also sustained injuries and was hospitalised, for which he has flagged Annexure A discharge card. According to him, the petitioners and the defacto complainant are neighbours.
3. I heard the learned Senior Public Prosecutor also.
4. A reference to the prosecution records indicate that the crime was registered on the basis of the First Information Bail Appl.No.5514 OF 2021 3
Statement given by the defacto complainant, who is a handicapped person; the defacto complainant had sustained crushed fracture on the right forearm besides other injuries; the petitioners had allegedly attacked the defacto complainant with an iron rod and also with a motorcycle chain and caused him injuries, after committing house trespass.
5. In the nature of the allegations and having regard to
the gravity of the injuries sustained by the defacto complainant, I am convinced that this is not a fit case for granting anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Moreover, weapons of offence allegedly used by the petitioners have to be recovered, which is possible only after custodial interrogation of the petitioners. The bail application is dismissed.
