SANKARAN, J. --------------------------- B.A. No. 6725 of 2009 ------------------------------------ Dated this the 8th day of December, 2009 O R D E R This is an application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The petitioner is accused No.2 in Crime No.196/2009 of Kollam West Police Station. 2. The offences alleged against the petitioner are under Sections 143, 147, 148, 149, 446, 294(b),323, 324 and 307 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor. I have also perused the Case Diary. 4. Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature and gravity of the offence and the injuries sustained by the injured persons, I am of the view that this is not a fit case where the petitioner is entitled to get the discretionary relief under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. If anticipatory bail is granted to the petitioner, it would adversely affect the proper investigation of the case. For the aforesaid reasons, the Bail Application is dismissed. K.T. SANKARAN, JUDGE scm
