SANKARAN, J. --------------------------- B.A. No. 4718 of 2009 ------------------------------------ Dated this the 21st day of August, 2009 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.3 in Crime No.544/2008 of Panoor Police Station. 2. The offences alleged against the petitioner are under Sections 143, 147, 148, 341, 326 and 307 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. The date of incident was on 30/12/2008. The petitioner could be arrested only on 10/7/2009. The wound certificate in respect of the injured in the case would disclose that he had sustained ten incised wounds and fracture and another injury which resulted “near amputation of the left leg”. It is submitted by the learned Public Prosecutor that left leg of the victim was amputated. The investigation is not completed and all the other accused persons have not been arrested. 4. It is submitted by the learned Public Prosecutor that if the petitioner is released on bail at this stage, it would seriously affect the proper investigation of the case. It is also pointed out B.A. No. 4718/2009 Page numbers that the area within the panoor Police Station limits is a sensitive area. The crimes on account of political rivalry are on the high side in the jurisdiction of Panoor Police Station, according to the learned Public Prosecutor. 5. Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case, I do not think that it is proper to release the petitioner on bail at this stage. The Bail Application is accordingly dismissed. K.T.
