BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.K.S.SIVAKUMAR THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: K. HEMA, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - B.A.No. 3451 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 2nd day of June, 2008 O R D E R Application for anticipatory bail. 2. According to the prosecution, the petitioners came in a motor cycle on 6-3-2008 at about 9.30 a.m. and threw country bombs on the defacto-complainant, who was on a bicycle, purchasing newspaper. He sustained injury and another person also sustained injury in the accident. A crime under sections 308, 324 read with section 34 IPC and sections 3 and 4 of the Explosive Substances Act was registered against the petitioners on a complaint made by the defacto-complainant. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners were not implicated as per the F.I.S. Their names were not stated. The allegation is that persons identifiable by sight committed the crime. Therefore the petitioners are totally innocent of the allegations made and they are only workers and they have nothing to do with the offence. It is also brought to my notice that this is allegedly a politically motivated crime and that there is a clash between the N.D.F. workers and the B.J.P. Workers. BA 3451/2008 -2- 4. The learned Public Prosecutor submitted that on investigation, the petitioners are arrayed as accused 1 to 3. There are sufficient materials to connect the petitioners in the crime. The petitioners were absconding and they could not be arrested so far. Their custodial interrogation is essential for an effective investigation and this application is opposed. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that this is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail. Hence, the application is dismissed. K. HEMA, JUDGE. mn.
