FOLLOWING:
BA. No.4501/2022
..2..
ORDER
Dated this the 24th day of June, 2022
This is an application for Regular Bail.
2. The petitioners are the accused Nos.1, 2 and 4 in
Crime No.491/2022 of Kasargod Police Station alleging
commission of offences punishable under Sections 341, 323,
324, 308 and 506 r/w Section 34 of the IPC.
3. The prosecution case is that, on 05.06.2022 at
about 5.10PM, the accused in the above case, in furtherance of
their common intention, wrongfully restrained the de facto
complainant at Anangoor petrol pump and caused hurt to him
by beating him with an iron pipe. The further allegation is that
the blow aimed at the head of the de facto complainant with
an iron pipe, if not evaded would have caused his death, hence
the above case. The petitioners were arrested on 06.06.2022
and ever since then they are in custody.
4. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted
that, they were arrested on 06.06.2022 and are in custody
since then. The case of the petitioners is that, they are falsely BA. No.4501/2022

implicated in the above said crime and in fact, earlier the
younger son of the 3rd petitioner was abducted by the de facto
complainant and others and was beaten up. Anx.A1 is the
wound certificate of the minor son of the 3 rd petitioner.
Anx.A2- complaint was preferred by the wife of the 3 rd
petitioner and due to the influence of the de facto complainant,
no crime was registered.
5. The learned Public Prosecutor, upon instruction,
submitted that, the 1st accused is involved in several other
cases including a 302 case, but submitted that injury suffered
by the de facto complainant is not very serious.
6. The learned counsel for the petitioners thereupon
submitted that, 1st petitioner is acquitted in the said alleged
302 case as per the judgment dated 24.06.2022 in S.C.
No.380/2017 of Addl. Sessions Court-II, Kasaragod.
7. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the
case, taking into consideration the fact that the petitioners are
in custody from 06.06.2022, I am inclined to grant bail to the
petitioners and it is ordered that the petitioners shall be
released on bail on the following stringent conditions: BA. No.4501/2022
..4..
(i) The petitioners shall execute bond for a sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only)each with two solvent sureties each for the like-sum to the satisfaction of the jurisdictional court;
(ii) Petitioners shall appear before the investigating officer in Crime No.491/2022 of Kasargod Police Station, on every Saturday at 11 am until filing of final report and shall co-operate with the investigation;
(iii) The petitioners shall not attempt to interfere with the investigation or to influence or any witness in Crime No.491/2022 of Kasargod Police Station;
(iv) The petitioners shall not involve in any other crime while on bail.
If any of the aforesaid conditions are violated, the
investigating officer in Crime No.491/2022 of Kasargod Police
Station may file an application before the jurisdictional court,
for cancellation of bail.
