BY ADVS. SRI.J.R.PREM NAVAZ SUMIN.S RESPONDENT/STATE: STATE OF KERALA REPRESENTED BY THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM 682 031. AJITH MURALI THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21.01.2019, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING:
ORDER
The petitioner herein stands arrayed as the fourth accused in Crime No.199/2018 of Perambra Police Station, for offences punishable under sections 3 and 5 of the Explosive Substances Act, 1908.
2. According to the prosecution due to political rivalry, on 18.4.2018 at about 12.40 am., the petitioner herein along with other accused hurled country bomb at the house of the defacto complainant. It exploded causing damage to the house. Crime was registered and the petitioner apprehending arrest, seeks bail.
3. According to the learned counsel for the
petitioner, the incident happened during night and merely because he belongs to the political party, he is roped in. There is no direct evidence to implicate him, it was contended.
4. It seems that even in the FIS, the name of the
petitioner herein is referred to. According to the defacto complainant, on hearing explosion, he opened the door and looked out. He had seen some of the accused, whose names are referred to in the first statement given to the police. The petitioner also is referred to in the FIS. The petitioner has criminal antecedents and is involved in few other cases of similar nature. Having considered these, I feel that this is not a fit case in which the benefit of pre-
arrest bail can be granted to the petitioner herein. Bail application fails and is dismissed. SD/- SUNIL THOMAS, JUDGE R.AV
