BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.K.S.SIVAKUMAR THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: K.HEMA, J. ------------------------------ B.A. No.4647 OF 2008 ------------------------------ Dated this the 25th day of July, 2008 O R D E R This petition is for bail. 2. The alleged offences are under Sections 143, 144, 147, 148, 149 and 302 I.P.C. According to the prosecution, petitioners along with others strangulated the deceased Sreekant @ Akku to death and left his body on the railway track. 3. This petition is strongly opposed. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that a dead body was found on the railway track and crime was registered under the caption “unnatural death” and investigation was conducted and after lapse of several months only, the assailants could be identified. In the peculiar facts of this case, the investigation, is still at the initial stage, though the petitioners were arrested on 13.05.2008. It is also revealed that the petitioners are involved in other murder cases and hence petitioners may not be released on bail at this stage. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are innocent of the allegations made. B.A.4647/2008 2 On hearing both sides, I am satisfied of the submissions made by the Learned Public Prosecutor and hence it is not fit to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage. The petition is dismissed. K.HEMA, JUDGE pac
