The petitioner is the accused in Crime No.187 of 2011 of the Thrikkunnappuzha Police Station. 2.The offences alleged against the accused persons are under Sections 143, 147, 148, 324, 427 and 307 read with 149 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27(1) of the Arms Act. 3.The prosecution case is that on 27.5.2011, the accused persons assembled near the house of the victim and they attacked the de facto complainant as well as the victim. As a result of the attack with sword stick, the left palm of the victim was amputated. He was rushed to the Specialists Hospital, Ernakulam and he is continuing his B.A.No.5295 OF 2011 2 treatment there. 4. The petitioner was arrested on 3.6.2011 and he was remanded to judicial custody. 5. Taking into account the gravity of the offence, the allegation of complicity of the petitioner in the crime, the fact that the investigation is not over and the likelihood of the petitioner influencing the witnesses, I do not think that this is a fit case where regular bail can be granted to the petitioner at this stage. The Bail Application is accordingly, dismissed. K.T.SANKARAN, JUDGE. cms
