R.RAVINDRA BABU THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/05/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------- Bail Application No.2168 of 2008 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of May 2008 O R D E R In this petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C., the petitioners seek anticipatory bail on the allegation that the Balussery police are at their heels in connection with Crime No.182/2008 registered for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 448 and 353 read with Section 149 IPC. As per the interim order dated 7.4.2008, this Court granted anticipatory bail to petitioners 1 to 3, who are respectively accused Nos.2, 3 and 1. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor, on instructions, submitted that petitioners 4 to 9 are not yet arrayed as accused in the above crime so far. If so, the apprehension of arrest and harassment entertained by the petitioners 4 to 9 is unfounded. In case petitioners 4 to 9 are arrayed as accused, they have undoubtedly the right to approach the appropriate court and seek appropriate reliefs. Sustaining the earlier order granting anticipatory bail to petitioners 1 to 3 and reserving the above right of petitioners 4 to 9, this petition is disposed of. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE css/
