The applicant in B.A.Nos.4098 of 2020 and 4110 of 2020 rd is implicated as the 3 accused in two crimes, Crime No. 124/2020 of Coyalmannam Police Station, and Crime No.63/2020 of Pattambi Police Station, respectively, for offences allegedly punishable under Sections 406 and 420 read with Section 34 of the IPC, and under Sections 3, 4, 5 and 6 of Prized Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978.
2. The applicant herein, was implicated in several cases and
in some of the cases, he was arrested and granted regular bail. In some other cases, he obtained anticipatory bail. The allegations in all these cases are almost identical, and therefore, further custodial interrogation of the applicant in the instant two crimes may not be necessary, so long as he is willing to co-operate with the investigation and appear before the Investigating Officers for that purpose. Hence,
the applicant seeks anticipatory bail in these two cases as well.
3. Heard the learned counsel for the applicant, and the learned Prosecutor. There is no possibility of the applicant absconding.
4. In the result, the bail applications are both allowed, and
the applicant is directed to surrender before the Investigating Officers concerned, within one month, and in the event of his being arrested, he shall be released on bail on execution of bond for Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees One lakh only) in each of the crimes, with two solvent sureties, each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the Investigating Officers and on following further conditions:
(i) The applicant shall appear before the Investigating
Officers on the Second Saturdays of every month between 10.00 AM and 3.00 PM for a period of three months, or till filing of the final report whichever is earlier.
(ii) He shall not intimidate or influence witnesses and tamper with evidence.
(iii) He shall not get involved in similar offences during the currency of the bail period.
In case of breach of any of the bail conditions, the prosecution shall be at liberty to apply for cancellation of the bail before the concerned jurisdictional Court. The bail applications are allowed. Sd/- ASHOK MENON JUDGE NR/30/07/20
