PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 18/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: K.HEMA, J ----------------------- B.A No.2084 OF 2010 -------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of June 2010 ORDER This petition is for anticipatory bail. 2. The alleged offences are under Sections 380, 457 r/w 34 IPC. According to prosecution, accused numbers one and two were arrested when they were found in possession of certain idols and on questioning, it was revealed that third accused gave the articles to first and second accused. Third accused was thereafter arrested and it was revealed that the idols and other articles were stolen by accused numbers four to nine from a temple. Accused Nos. 4 and 5 entrusted the articles to third accused. 3. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that petitioner is innocent of the allegations made. He is not involved in any other case. Third accused had some enmity towards petitioner and hence his name was stated by him to police when he was arrested. 4. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that third accused had not made any such confession relating to petitioner who is the seventh accused. In fact, it was fourth and fifth accused who made a confession that petitioner committed the theft along with them and others. B.A No.2084 OF 2010 2 5. On hearing both sides, I am not satisfied of the contentions raised by learned counsel for petitioner that he was falsely implicated by third accused out of enmity etc. Considering the serious nature of the allegations made, I find, this is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail. Petitioner will be required for interrogation. 6. Petitioner shall surrender before Investigating Officer at the earliest and co-operate with investigation. Petition is dismissed. K.HEMA JUDGE vdv
