O R D E R
The petitioner herein apprehending arrest in crime no.2697/2018 of Kothamangalam police station for offences punishable under sections 324 and 308 IPC, seeks bail.
2. The allegation of the prosecution is that the petitioner
herein attacked the defacto complainant with a sharp long weapon on 19.12.2018 at 7.30 p.m to inflict injury on his neck. He moved to one side and it injured his shoulder. He was taken to the local hospital from where he was shifted to Medical College Hospital, Kalamassery.
3. The petitioner apprehending arrest in the crime that was registered, seeks bail.
4. It seems that a sharp weapon has been used. Wound certificate shows that the victim had sustained an injury of 7x2 c.m. Though recovery has been effected, the antecedents of the
petitioner herein does not appear to be appreciable. He is involved in two different cases of Kodanadu police station for offences punishable under Sections 506(ii), 420, 447 294(b) r/w. Section 5 and 27 (i) of the Arms Act. Both the crimes are registered by the Kodanadu police station. Considering the antecedents of the petitioner herein and the nature of allegation and the injury inflicted on the defacto complainant, I do not feel that this is a fit case in which the benefit of pre-arrest bail can be granted to the petitioner herein. Bail application fails and dismissed. Sd/- SUNIL THOMAS shg JUDGE
