NO. 8565 OF 2011 ------------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 21st day of October, 2011 O R D E R This is an application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The petitioner is accused No.12 in Crime No.691 of 2011 of Varantharappally Police Station, Thrissur District. 2. The offences alleged against the accused are under Sections 143, 147, 148, 341, 324, 326 and 307 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 27 of the Arms Act. 3. The prosecution case is the following: The victim Vincent was attacked by the accused persons at about 7.30 A.M. on 2.10.2011 with dangerous weapons like swords and iron rods in front of a tea shop. Vincent sustained serious injuries. He was taken to the Jubilee Mission Hospital and thereafter to the Elite Mission Hospital, Thrissur. He was in the Intensive Care Unit. The First Information Statement was given by one Shaju as the victim was in the Intensive Care Unit. The allegation is that accused No.1 Vishnu is a goonda of the locality and he used to collect money from BAIL APPL. NO.8565 of 2011 :: 2 :: persons engaged in removal of sand and earth. Somebody informed the matter to the police. Vishnu was under the impression that the information was given by Vincent. Vincent was attacked on that account. 4. The petitioner was arrested on 11.10.2011 and he was remanded to judicial custody. 5. The allegations levelled against the petitioner are grave in nature. The injuries sustained by the victim are serious in nature. If the petitioner is released on bail at this stage, it would adversely affect the proper investigation of the case. It is most likely that the petitioner would intimidate and influence the witnesses and tamper with evidence. For the aforesaid reasons, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. The Bail Application is, accordingly, dismissed. (K.T.SANKARAN) Judge ahz/
