It is alleged that because of the inter se rivalry between VHP and RSS persons, there was an attack on the defacto complainant by the accused, causing him fractures on the frontal bone as well as on left ankle joint. The petitioner had approached this Court for a pre-arrest order. Rejecting the same, he was directed to surrender before the Investigating Officer. Accordingly he surrendered, and is in judicial custody from 3.10.2006. 2. The arguments during the hearing of the application, under Section 438 Cr.P.C, as well as in this application, is that the petitioner was teaching Hindi language in M.V.Higher Secondary School, Ariyallur, on B.A.6091/2006 2 the date of occurrence, between 9.15 a.m and 10.15 a.m. I had asked the Investigating Officer to verify the fact, certified by the principal. But the principal was on leave and therefore, the fact could not be ascertained. Now the counsel submits that if the petitioner is continuously detained, it would cause unbearable hardships and damage to him, as he is not involved in the case. 3. I am not entering into any discussion, on the merit of the matter. It is for the prosecution, during the trial, to establish the case against the accused. The learned Public Prosecutor submits that the tension in the locality and particularly between the two groups in the area is still continuing. Hence submit that imposition of conditions are necessary, if the bail is to be granted. 4. In the light of the above discussions, I grant bail and release the petitioner from jail, subject to the following conditions:- (a). The petitioner shall execute a bond for Rs.25,000/-, with two solvent sureties, each for the like sum, to the B.A.6091/2006 3 satisfaction of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class-I, Parappanangadi.
