PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.V.MANU THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 12/07/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: K.T.SANKARAN, J. --------------------------- B.A.No.5490 of 2011 --------------------------- Dated this the 12th day of July, 2011 O R D E R This is an application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The petitioner is the sole accused in Crime No.559 of 2011 of Puthur Police Station. 2. The offences alleged against the petitioner are under Sections 376 and 313 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor. 4. The allegations levelled against the petitioner are very grave in nature. The gravity of the situation would gain more importance, since the petitioner is a police constable. If anticipatory bail is granted to the petitioner, it would adversely affect the proper investigation of the case. I do not think that this is a fit case where anticipatory bail can be granted. For the aforesaid reasons, the Bail Application is dismissed. K.T.SANKARAN JUDGE csl
