ORDER
This application is filed under Section 483 of the Bharatiya
Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short, BNSS) seeking
regular bail.
2. The applicants are the accused Nos.1 to 4 in Crime
No.816/2025 of Vazhakkad Police Station, Malappuram District.
The offence alleged is punishable under Section 103(1) read
with Section 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
3. The prosecution case, in short, is that on 18-10-2025
at or about 9.30 pm, the applicant attacked one Sajeem Ali with
mobile phone causing grievous injuries on his head and the
deceased succumbed to injuries at Medical College Hospital,
Kozhikode and thereby committed the above offence
4. I have heard Sri.K.Rakesh, the learned counsel for
the applicants and Sri.C.K.Suresh, the learned Special 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 present case. The counsel further submitted that no
materials are on record to connect the applicants with the
2026:KER:7608
alleged crime; hence, they are entitled to bail. On the other
hand, the learned Special Public Prosecutor submitted that the
alleged incident occurred as a part of the intentional criminal
acts of the applicants, and they are not entitled to bail at this
stage.
6. The applicants were remanded to judicial custody on
22.10.2025. The investigation is over and the final report has
already been filed. It is seen from the records that the deceased
was a habitual offender and was involved in a series of grave
offences, the details of which have been given in the bail
application. In the incident, the applicant No.1 has sustained
serious injuries. For these reasons, I do not find any reason to
hold that the continued detention of the applicants is required
for any purpose. Hence, the applicants are entitled to be
released on bail.
In the result, the application is allowed on the following
conditions: -
(i) The applicants shall be released on bail 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
jurisdictional Magistrate/Court.
2026:KER:7608
(ii) The applicants shall not commit any offence of a like
nature while on bail.
(iii) 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.
(iv) The applicants shall not leave the State of Kerala
without the permission of the trial Court.
(v) The application, if any, for deletion/modification of
the bail conditions or cancellation of bail on the grounds of
violating the bail conditions shall be filed at the jurisdictional
court.
