MOHANAN, J. ---------------------------------------- Bail Application No. 2396 of 2010 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of April, 2010 O R D E R This is an application for regular bail filed by the petitioners, who are accused in Crime No. 193/2010 of Kazhakkuttam Police Station, in which offences punishable under Section 379 r/w 34 of I.P.C. is involved. 2. The allegation against the petitioners is that, on 17.3.2010 both the accused have committed theft of Rs.12,500/- from the defacto complainant while they were traveling in the bus from Kazhakuttam to Karyavottom and thus the accused have committed the above offence. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners and also the learned Public Prosecutor. 5. The petitioners are arrested only on 18.03.2010. The investigation in this case is in progress. Considering the nature of the offences involved in the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage, B.A.No.2396 of 2010 -:2:- especially since the release of the petitioners at this stage is likely to affect the investigation adversely and there is no guarantee that they will not influence the witnesses and interfere with the investigation. In the result, there is no merit in the petition for bail and accordingly, the same is dismissed. V.K.MOHANAN, JUDGE ami/
