O R D E R The petitioner is the 3rd accused in Crime No. 721/2011 of the Kollam West Police station for the offence under Sections 324 and 326 r/w Section 34 IPC. Apprehending, arrest, detention and torture at the hands of the investigating officer, the petitioner seeks an order directing the respondent to release the petitioner on bail in the event of arrest. 2. The Govt. Pleader opposed this application. Having heard either side, I find that the weapon used by the petitioner is only a stick and the victim has sustained only simple injuries. In the above circumstance, this petition is allowed. 3. The petitioner shall report before the investigating officer within one week. After interrogation, he shall be released on bail by executing a bond for Rs.20,000/- with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the investigating officer on the following conditions:- 1. Petitioner shall report before the investigating officer as and when required. 2. Petitioner shall apply for regular bail within 2 weeks, failing which the investigating officer shall arrest the petitioner and produce him before the Magistrate concerned. P.S.GOPINATHAN, JUDGE amk
