Dated this the 16th day of November, 2023
ORDER
Apprehending arrest in Crime No.607 of 2023 of Nattukal
police station registered for offences under Sections 342, 323,
304 read with Section 34 of IPC, the 3 rd accused/petitioner has
filed this petition seeking pre-arrest bail.
2. The prosecution allegation is that on 04.10.2023 at
about 11.45 a.m, in the aftermath of a verbal altercation between
the defacto complainant, his brother and the accused Nos.1 to 3
in connection with re-survey of their properties, the 1st accused
pushed the defacto complainant and when the defacto
complainant's brother intervened, accused Nos.1 to 3 beat him
on different parts of his body and when he felt heart pain, the
accused persons obstructed the defacto complainant from taking
his brother to the hospital which resulted in his death. Thus, the
petitioner along with the other accused has committed the
aforesaid offences.
B.A. No.9172 of 2023
3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the
learned Public Prosecutor were heard.
4. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and
the learned Public Prosecutor, it cannot be said that the offences
alleged are not attracted in the case. Considering the allegations
raised against the petitioner of having committed offence under
Section 304 of IPC, I am of the view that the petitioner is not
entitled to get anticipatory bail as it will adversely affect a proper
investigation.
5. Therefore, the following directions are issued:-
In the event the petitioner surrenders before the Investigating
Officer in two weeks, he shall be interrogated and thereafter,
shall be produced before the Magistrate having jurisdiction on
the date of surrender itself. If the petitioner moves for bail, the
court below shall, untrammelled by any of the observations in
this order, consider the bail application on merits, as
expeditiously as possible. If the petitioner does not surrender
before the Investigating Officer, as directed above, the
Investigating Officer will be free to arrest the petitioner as if no
order has been passed in this case.
B.A. No.9172 of 2023
The bail application is disposed of as above.
