THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
23.09.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
BAIL APPL. NO. 7105 OF 2021
2
ORDER
Application for regular bail.
2. The petitioner who is the sole accused in
Crime No.632 of 2021 of Kannur City Police Station
registered for the offences punishable under Sections
341, 323, 324 and 326 of the Indian Penal Code, has
moved this application for his release on bail.
3. The prosecution case is as follows :-
The petitioner who was entertaining enmity
towards the defacto complainant with the intention to
cause his death, on 08.07.2021 at about 12.30 am had
wrongfully restrained the defacto complainant and
stabbed on the left side of his abdomen with a deadly
weapon and thereby committed the aforesaid offences.
4. The petitioner has been in custody since
15.08.2021.
5. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner
as well the learned Public Prosecutor.
6. The learned counsel for the petitioner has
submitted that he is totally innocent of the BAIL APPL. NO. 7105 OF 2021
allegations levelled against him. But he has been
falsely implicated in the case at the instigation of
the defacto complainant.
7. The learned Public Prosecutor has refuted the
contention raised by the learned counsel for the
petitioner and submitted that the defacto complainant
who was undergoing treatment had been discharged from
the hospital. Now the investigation of the case is
well in progress. Moreover, this petitioner as such is
having no criminal antecedents.
8. The petitioner is an youngster aged 26 years.
Though he was arraigned as an accused in an earlier
crime registered by Kannur City Police as Crime
No.447/2019, the case was quashed by this court by an
order dated 13.10.2020. So as such, he is having no
criminal antecedents. Now the investigation of the
case is well in progress, in fact, it is nearing
completion. The recovery of the weapon used by the
petitioner to inflict injury on the defacto
complainant has also been recovered. Hence, I could
not find any material on record to infer that further BAIL APPL. NO. 7105 OF 2021
detention of this petitioner is required for the
investigating agency to complete the investigation and
to submit the final report.
Having considered the facts and circumstances
involved in this case, the period of detention
undergone by him in judicial custody, the present
stage of investigation as well the fact that he is
having no criminal antecedents, I am inclined to
release him on bail subject to the following
conditions :-
(i) The petitioner shall be released on bail on executing a bond for a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees one lakh only)with two solvent sureties for the like sum each to the satisfaction of the court having jurisdiction.
(ii) He shall appear before the investigating officer on Second Saturday of every month between 10.30 am and 11.30 am for a period of two months or till filing of the final report, whichever is earlier.
(iii) The petitioner shall not directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence.
BAIL APPL. NO. 7105 OF 2021
(iv) The petitioner shall not commit any offence while on bail.
In case of violation of any of the above
conditions, the learned Magistrate/Judge is empowered
to cancel the bail in accordance with the law.
