The petitioner is accused No.3 in Crime No.356 of 2011 of Alathur Police Station, Palakkad District. 2. The offence alleged against the petitioner is under Section 392 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. The prosecution case is that on 24.6.2011 at about 9.30 A.M., while the de facto complainant was walking along the road side, the accused persons came on two motor bikes, intercepted the de facto complainant and snatched her gold chain. 4. The allegations levelled against the petitioner are serious in nature. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I BA 8086/11 2 do not think that the petitioner is entitled to get the discretionary relief under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The matter requires investigation. Custodial interrogation of the petitioner may be required in the case. If anticipatory bail is granted to the petitioner, it would adversely affect the proper and smooth investigation of the case. For the aforesaid reasons, the Bail application is dismissed.
