The petitioner is accused No.7 in Crime No.492 of 2009 of Koipuram Police Station, Pathanamthitta District. 2. The offences alleged against the petitioner are under Sections 143, 144, 147, 148, 149, 294(b) and 307 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor. I have also perused the case diary. The wound certificate would disclose that the de facto complainant and his friend Jobby sustained very serious injuries. The allegation is that the injuries were caused by the use of sword stick and chopper. 4. Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature of the offence, the injuries sustained by the de facto B.A. NO. 6914 OF 2009 :: 2 :: complainant and another, and other circumstances, I do not think that this is a fit case where anticipatory bail can be granted to the petitioner. If anticipatory bail is granted to the petitioner, it would adversely affect the proper investigation of the case. For the aforesaid reasons, the Bail Application is dismissed.
