PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.V.MANU THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 11/07/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: K.T.SANKARAN, J. --------------------------------------------- Bail Appln.No.5200 of 2011 ---------------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of July, 2011 ORDER This is an application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Petitioner is the accused in Crime No.150 of 2011 of Chittar Police Station, Pathanamthitta District. 2. The offences alleged against the petitioner are under Sections 324, 326, 342 & 498-A of the Indian Penal Code. 3. The allegation is that on 13/06/2011, the petitioner attacked his wife with 'chirava' which caused serious injuries on her face and there was dislocation of her tooth. 4. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor. I have also perused the case diary. 5. Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature of the injuries and the gravity of the offences, I do not think that this is a fit case where anticipatory bail can be granted to the petitioner. If Bail Appln.No.5200/2011 : 2 : anticipatory bail is granted to the petitioner, it would adversely affect the proper investigation of the case. For the aforesaid reasons, the Bail Application is dismissed. K.T.SANKARAN, JUDGE skj
