SRI.M.V.AMARESAN RESPONDENT(S): -------------------- STATE OF KERALA, REPRESENTED BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: svs V. RAMKUMAR, J. ................................... B.A. No.903 of 2011 .................................. Dated: 11.02.2011 O R D E R In this Petition filed under Sec. 438 Cr.P.C. the petitioners, who are the accused in Crime No.14/2011 of Pariyaram Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 498A I.P.C., seek anticipatory bail. 2. I heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor. The learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the 1st accused is now the sole accused. The 2nd petitioner who is the mother of the 1st petitioner has been deleted from the party array. If so the request for anticipatory bail by the 2nd petitioner is misconceived and is accordingly rejected. 3. After evaluating the factors and parameters which are to be taken into consideration in the light of paragraph 122 of the verdict dated 2-12-2010 of the Apex Court in Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre v. State of Maharashtra and Others (2010(4) KLT 930), I am inclined to grant Bail A.No.903/2011 -:2:- anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, a direction is issued to the officer-in-charge of the police station concerned to release the petitioner on bail in the event of his arrest in connection with the above case on his executing a bond for `25,000/- (Rupees twenty five thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the said officer and subject to the following conditions:- 1. The petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on all Wednesdays. 2. The petitioner shall make himself available for interrogation including custodial interrogation as and when required by the Investigating Officer. 3. Petitioner shall not influence or intimidate the prosecution witnesses nor shall he attempt to tamper with the evidence for the prosecution. 4. Petitioner shall not commit any offence while on bail. 5. The bail granted pursuant to this order shall be in force till the end of the trial of the case unless and until it is cancelled by this Court in Bail A.No.903/2011 -:3:- accordance with paragraph 103 of the verdict in Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre's case (supra). If the petitioner commits breach of any of the above conditions, the bail granted to him shall be liable to be cancelled. This application is allowed as above. Dated this the 11 th day of February, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. sj
