The Petitioner is accused No.4 in Crime No.201 of 2011 of Cheruthuruthy Police Station, Thrissur District. 2. The offences alleged against the petitioner are under Sections 395 and 450 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. The prosecution case is that on 26.5.2011 at 11 A.M, the accused persons picked up a quarrel at the bar hotel of the defacto complainant and they assaulted the employees at the bar hotel. It is alleged that the petitioner committed theft of `31,730/-(Rupees thirty one thousand seven hundred thirty only) from the cash counter. B.A. No.6025 OF 2011 2 4. The allegations levelled against the petitioner are serious in nature. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I do not think that the petitioner is entitled to get the discretionary relief under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The matter requires investigation. If anticipatory bail is granted to the petitioner, it would adversely affect the proper and smooth investigation of the case. For the aforesaid reasons, the Bail Application is dismissed. K.T.SANKARAN, JUDGE. cms
