ORDER
This is an application for regular bail under Section 439 Cr.P.C
filed by the sole accused in Crime No.536 of 2023 of Medical College
Police Station, Kozhikode, registered under sections 377, 109, 506 of
Indian Penal Code, Section 4(2) read with 3(a), 6 read with 5(1), 17
read with 16 of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.
2. The prosecution allegation is that, during the period from
04.04.2023 to 27.04.2023, on several days, petitioner committed
unnatural sex and penetrative sexual assault on the victim boy, who
was aged only 15 years, after taking him to a room near Kuttikkattor
Service Station. Thereafter, he threatened the victim with death, when
he objected the repeated sexual acts of the petitioner.
3. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned
Public Prosecutor.
4. Learned Public Prosecutor opposed the bail application.
5. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that
investigation is over and final report has been filed. The petitioner is
in judicial custody from 26.05.2023 onwards. So his continued
detention is not necessary. The petitioner is involved in Crime No.555
of 2023 of the very same police station, for committing similar
offence, on a 10 year old boy, after giving drugs and liquor to that boy.
Now that boy is under treatment for behavioral disorders and mental
issues, due to the sexual abuse and drug abuse from the part of the
petitioner. Learned Trial Court, as per letter dated 12.02.2024,
informed this Court that SC No.885 of 2023 is now ripe for trial and
on 01.01.2024, though summons was issued to CW1 to CW4 they
were absent. The Trial Court has assured disposal of SC No.885 of
2023 within a period of four months.
6. Considering the nature of allegations made against the
petitioner and his involvement in similar crime, this Court is not
inclined to release him on bail, as it may cause threat to the victim boy
as well as the other witnesses to be examined.
7. The Trial Court is directed to dispose of SC No.885 of 2023
within a period of four months from today. Registry to forward a copy
of this order to the trial court forthwith for compliance and report.
With this direction, above petition is disposed of.
