PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZ. THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 17/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: K.HEMA, J. ---------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.2352 of 2010 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 17th May, 2010. O R D E R This petition is for anticipatory bail. 2. According to prosecution, petitioner (A1) along with two others criminally trespassed into the office of Asianet Satellite Communications Limited and manhandled two of the employees therein and also caused mischief by damaging the computer, fan, telephone etc. and caused a loss to the tune of Rs.25,000/-. A complaint was lodged on the very next day, by the Area Manager of the company. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that though two persons are allegedly assaulted, they have not made any complaint to the police. It is the Area Manager, who has filed the complaint. It is also submitted that the petitioner has not committed any offence. He is a carpenter working close to the alleged place of occurrence. 4. This petition is opposed. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the petitioner’s name is mentioned in the F.I. statement itself, which is lodged on the very next day of the BA NO.2352/10 2 incident. There are two identifiable persons and they could not be arrested so far. Petitioner’s arrest and interrogation are required for the purpose of investigation and identifying the two persons involved in the crime. 5. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied of the submissions made by the learned Public Prosecutor. The bare denial of the incident and the involvement of the petitioner are not sufficient to grant anticipatory bail. The incident happened as early as on 22.2.2010 and the petitioner is bound to cooperate with the investigation. 6. Hence, the following order is passed : Petitioner shall surrender before the Investigating Officer within one week from today and shall cooperate with the investigation. Petition is dismissed.
