The petitioner is the first accused in Crime No.574/06 of Chengannur Police Station, registered for offence under Section 366 IPC read with Section 34 thereof.

The occurrence in the case is alleged to have taken place as early as on 20.11.2006. Considering the entire circumstances of the case, I am of the view that anticipatory bail can be granted to the petitioner, imposing stringent conditions. In the result, I allow this bail application and direct that: (i) the petitioner do surrender before the learned Magistrate concerned positively within BA 2672/07 2 fifteen days from today; (ii) that on such surrender and on his depositing, by way of cash security, an amount of Rupees ten thousand and executing bail bond for Rupees twenty thousand with two solvent sureties each for like sums to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned, the petitioner shall be enlarged on bail; (iii) that on such release the petitioner shall co-operate with the investigation in the case and shall report before the Investigating Officer between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. on all Tuesdays and Fridays for a period of two months and thereafter on all Tuesdays only, till the investigation in the case is over and final report is laid; and (iv) that the grant of anticipatory bail shall not stand in the way of the learned Magistrate granting custody of the petitioner to the Investigating Officer for questioning, if the Investigating Agency so asks for and the learned BA 2672/07 3 Magistrate deems it fit to grant, considering the circumstances of the case. 4th May, 2007 (K.P.Balachandran, Judge) tkv
