PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.DANESH MATHEW THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 12/10/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: K.T.SANKARAN, J. --------------------------------------------- Bail Appln.No.8099 of 2011 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 12th day of October, 2011 ORDER This is an application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The petitioner is accused No.3 in Crime No.664 of 2011 of Payyannur Police Station. 2. The offences alleged against the petitioner are under Sections 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. The prosecution case is that accused No.3 used to get damaged vehicles and entrust the same to accused Nos.1 and 2. Accused Nos.1 and 2 are running automobile workshops. The engine number and chassis number of those vehicles would be forged on the engine and chassis of the stolen vehicles and those vehicles would be sold. It is alleged that it is the mode of operation of the crimes by accused Nos.1 to 3. 4. The allegations levelled against the petitioner are grave in nature. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I do not think that the petitioner is entitled to get the Bail Appln.No.8099/2011 : 2 : 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.
