K.T.SANKARAN, J. --------------------------------- B.A. No.5585 OF 2011 --------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of July, 2011 ORDER This is an application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Petitioner is the 1st accused in Crime No.465 of 2011 of the Pudukad Police Station. 2. The offences alleged against the petitioner are under Sections 341, 324 and 307 read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. The prosecution case is that on 13.5.2011 at 4.30 P.M, the accused persons (two in number), attacked the victim. It is alleged that the second accused restrained the victim and the first accused caused stab injury on the chest of the victim. The victim was taken to the hospital and he was in the Intensive Care Unit. B.A. No.5585 OF 2011 2 4. The allegations levelled against the petitioner are grave in nature. The victim sustained stab injuries. The sequence of events which led to the attack would also show the grave nature of the offence. If anticipatory bail is granted to the petitioner, it would prejudicially affect the investigation of the case. It is submitted by the learned Public Prosecutor that the knife (weapon of offence) is yet to be recovered. 5. In the facts and circumstances mentioned above, I do not think it fit to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The Bail Application is, accordingly, dismissed. K.T.SANKARAN, JUDGE. cms
