BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. M.S. BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 20/04/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Kss V.K. MOHANAN, J. ---------------------------------------- Bail Application No. 2333 of 2010 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of April, 2010 O R D E R This is an application for regular bail filed by the petitioner, who is accused in Crime No. 87 of 2010 of Malayinkil Police Station, in which offences punishable under Sections 366, 342 and 376 of I.P.C. are involved. 2. The allegation against the petitioner is that on 03.02.2010 the accused forcibly took the defacto complainant into an Autorickshaw from Thachottukavu Junction wrongfully restrained her in a shed and raper her. 3. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Public Prosecutor. 4. The petitioner is arrested only on 25.3.2010. The investigation in this case is in progress. Considering the nature of the offences involved in the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner B.A No.2333 of 2010 2 at this stage, especially since the release of the petitioner at this stage is likely to affect the investigation adversely and there is no guarantee that he will not influence the witnesses and interfere with the investigation. In the result, there is no merit in the petition for bail and accordingly, the same is dismissed. V.K.MOHANAN, JUDGE ma B.A No.2333 of 2010 3 B.A No.2333 of 2010 4
