MOHANAN, J. ---------------------------------------- Bail Application No.2342 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 petitioner, who is accused in Crime No.707 of 2009 of Taliparamba Police Station, in which offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 342, 307, 332, 333. 47, 397 r/w 149 of I.P.C. are involved. 2. The allegation against the petitioner is that on 15.11.2009 at 17 hours, while the A.S.I attached to Taliparamba Police Station along with his police party was going to Chenayannur, 45 Nos. of accused came in 15 motorcycles with deadly weapons such as sword, iron rod etc in furtherance of common intention and restrained the police vehicle and destroyed it and also attacked the police party with an intention to kill them which caused fracture on the right hand of the A.S.I and thereby they also obstructed the official duty of the police party. The accused also snatched the B.A No.2342 of 2010 2 mobile phone of a Head Constable with official sim card. 3. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Public Prosecutor. 4. The petitioner is in remand from 27.3.2010 onwards. 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 petitioner at this stage, especially since the release of the petitioner at this stage is likely to affect the investigation adversely and there is no guarantee that he 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 ma B.A No.2342 of 2010 3 B.A No.2342 of 2010 4
