Petitioner is the first accused in the Crime. According to the prosecution, on 5.4.2008 at 11.45p.m. the accused intercepted the Van driven by the de-facto complainant holding a sword in hand and standing in front of the Van. The de-facto complainant took a deviation and drove forward. Accused Nos.2 to 4 intercepted the Van. The accused chased the Van by a Motor bike and again intercepted it. The 2nd and 3rd accused assaulted the de-facto complainant and also used abusive words. The de-facto complainant was pulled out and again fisted by the accused. The de-facto complainant lost the mobile phone during the course of the incident. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that only non-bailable offence committed by the petitioner is under Section 27 of the Arms Act. Other offences are bailable. Hence, he seeks anticipatory bail. 4. This petition is opposed. Learned Public Prosecutor B.A.No.2897/2008 2 submitted that the petitioners are required for custodial interrogation and for recovery of the weapon. I am satisfied that it is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail. This petition is dismissed. K.HEMA,JUDGE dvs
