ORDER
This is an application for anticipatory bail.
2. The petitioners are accused Nos.1 to 3 in Crime
No.585/2022 of Valappad Police Station alleging commission of
offences punishable under Sections 447, 341, 323, 324, 506 and 34
of Indian Penal Code.
3. The prosecution allegation is that, the accused, due to the
enmity towards the defacto complainant resulting from not
vacating the tenanted building, on 23.8.2022, at 10.30.P.M, in front
of the compound of the tenanted house of the defacto complainant,
wrongfully restrained and beat the defacto complainant with hands
and iron pipe and beat the mother of the defacto complainant who
tried to prevent the attack and thus the accused have committed
the aforesaid offences.
4. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the
petitioners have been falsely implicated in the above said crime. It
is the case of the petitioners that the defacto complainant is the
tenant of the building owned by the brother of accused Nos. 1 and
5. The defacto complainant was not prepared to vacate the
premises on the pretext of a dispute as to the advance amount and
when the sister-in-law of the accused Nos.1 and 2 talked over the
issue with the defacto complainant, they were subject to
misbehavior by the defacto complainant and the sister-in-law
lodged a complaint against the defacto complainant before the
police. The petitioners are implicated in the crime by the defacto
complainant as a counter blast to the said complaint of the sister-
in-law.
6. The learned Public Prosecutor upon instructions submitted
that the defacto complainant was attacked by the petitioners and
he sustained fracture and other injuries in the alleged incident and
his mother was also injured in the said incident. It is further
submitted that serious overtact of hitting the defacto complainant
with an iron rod is on the 1 st petitioner and serious overtacts are
alleged against the 2nd and 3rd petitioners, but submitted that they
have no other criminal antecedents.
7. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case
and considering the overtacts alleged against the 1 st petitioner, I
am not inclined to grant bail to the 1 st petitioner. As regards the
2nd and 3rd petitioners, I am inclined to grant bail to them subject
to stringent conditions. In the result, this application is allowed in
part. It is directed that the 2 nd and 3rd petitioners shall surrender
before the investigating officer on 11.10.2022 at 11 a.m, and
subject themselves for interrogation on that day and on any other
day or days as directed by the investigating officer, and in the
event of arrest in Crime No.585/2022 of Valappad Police Station,
they shall be produced before the jurisdictional Court and shall be
released on bail, subject to the following conditions:--
(i) The 2nd and 3rd petitioners shall execute a 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) The 2nd and 3rd petitioners shall appear before the
investigating officer in Crime No.585/2022 of
Valappad Police Station as and when summoned to do
so;
(iii) The 2nd and 3rd petitioners shall not attempt to
contact the victim or the defacto complainant or
interfere with the investigation or to influence or
intimidate any witness in Crime No.585/2022 of
Valappad Police Station;
(iv) The 2nd and 3rd petitioners shall not involve in any
other crime while on bail.
7. If any of the aforesaid conditions are violated, the
investigating officer in Crime No.585/2022 of Valappad Police
Station may file an application before the jurisdictional Court, for
cancellation of bail.
8. It is made clear that it is within the power of the police to
investigate the matter and if necessary to effect recoveries on the
information if any given by any of the petitioners, even when the
petitioners are on bail as per the judgment of the Apex Court in
Sushila Aggarwal and others v. State(NCT of Delhi) and
another(2020(1)KHC 663)
As regards the 1st petitioner is concerned, he shall
surrender before the investigating officer and seek for bail.
