MOHANAN, J. ---------------------------------------- Bail Application No. 2317 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 1st accused in Crime No.108 of 2010 of Mannar Police Station, in which offences punishable under Sections 23, 324, 308, 427 & 34 of I.P.C. are involved. 2. The allegation against the petitioner is that on 21.02.2010 at about 3.30 p.m. he along with another came to the courtyard of the house of one Murali at Muattel Junction and the petitioner beat one Arun on his left cheek. There is also an allegation that the petitioner also beat Suneesh on his head with a piece of brick and accused committed the offence with intention to murder the injured. 3. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Public Prosecutor. B.A No.2317 of 2010 2 4. The petitioner is arrested only on 21.02.2010. 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.2317 of 2010 3 B.A No.2317 of 2010 4
