ORDER
This application is filed under Section 482 of the
Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short, BNSS),
seeking pre-arrest bail.
2. The applicants are the accused Nos.2 and 3 in
Crime No.49/2026 of North Paravur Police Station, Ernakulam
District. The offences alleged are punishable under Sections
329(3), 126(2), 115(2) and 117(2) read with 3(5) of the
Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
3. The prosecution case, in short, is as follows:- One
Mr. Mahibur Rahman, hailing from the State of Assam is the
helper of the defacto complainant. Mr. Mahibur Rahman along
with others are residing at the residence of one Mr. Shahul
Hameed on rental basis. These persons engaged in telephonic
conversations loudly. Due to this enmity, applicants and
accused No.1, in furtherance of their common intention to
inflict bodily injury to Mr. Mahibur Rahman, on 12.01.2026 at
..4..
2026:KER:12711
about 9 p.m., criminally trespassed to the courtyard of their
rental residence. Mr. Mahibur Rahman was dragged out from
the house forcefully. Applicants and accused No.1 wrongfully
restrained him and beat on his cheeks intermittently using
hands. He was pushed down to the bathroom. Again, they
kicked him. Accused No.1 intermittently slapped on his both
cheeks using sandal and that caused a hole on his eardrum
leading to the deprivation of hearing. Moreover, he sustained
dislocation to his spine and thereby committed the offences.
4. I have heard Sri.Anoop V. Nair, the learned counsel
for the applicants and Sri.M.C.Ashi, the learned Senior Public
Prosecutor. Perused the case diary.
5. The learned counsel for the applicants submitted
that the applicants are innocent and have been falsely
implicated in the above crime. The counsel further submitted
that no materials are on record to connect the applicants with
the alleged crime; hence, they are entitled to get bail. The
learned Senior Public Prosecutor, on the other hand,
..5..
2026:KER:12711
submitted that the alleged incident occurred as a part of the
intentional criminal acts of the applicants, and if they are
released on bail at this stage, it will affect the course of the
investigation.
6. I went through the FI Statement. No serious overt
acts have been alleged against the applicants. They have not
used any weapon also. The main allegation is against accused
No.1. The applicants have no criminal antecedents.
Considering the allegations made against the applicants, their
custodial interrogation seems unnecessary. For these
reasons, I find this to be an appropriate case to grant pre-
arrest bail to the applicants.
In the result, the application is allowed on the following
conditions:-
(i) The applicants shall be released on bail in the event
of their arrest on executing a bond for Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees
One lakh only) each with two solvent sureties for the like sum
each to the satisfaction of the arresting officer/investigating
..6..
2026:KER:12711
officer, as the case may be.
(ii) The applicants shall fully cooperate with the
investigation, including subjecting themselves to the deemed
police custody for discovery, if any, as and when demanded.
(iii) The applicants shall appear before the investigating
officer between 10.00 a.m. and 11.00 a.m. every Saturday
until further orders. They shall also appear before the
investigating officer as and when required.
(iv) The applicants shall not commit any offence of a
like nature while on bail.
(v) The applicants shall not attempt to contact any of
the prosecution witnesses, directly or through any other
person, or in any other way try to tamper with the evidence
or influence any witnesses or other persons related to the
investigation.
(vi) The applicants shall not leave the State of Kerala
without the permission of the trial Court.
(vii) The application, if any, for deletion/modification of
..7..
2026:KER:12711
bail conditions or cancellation of bail on the grounds of
violating the bail conditions shall be filed at the jurisdictional
court.
