BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 12/10/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Mn V. RAMKUMAR, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Bail Application No.5760 of 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - DATED: 12.10.2010 O R D E R In this Petition filed under Sec.438 Cr.P.C. the petitioners who are the accused in Crime No.1757/2010 of Panangad Police Station for an offence punishable under Sec.498A I.P.C., seek anticipatory bail. 2. I heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Public Prosecutor. 3. Out of the five petitioners all except petitioners 1 and 3 who are accused Nos.1 and 4 have been arrested by the Police. If so the request for anticipatory bail by the petitioners 2,4 and 5 cannot be granted and is accordingly disallowed. Having regard to the nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioners 1and 3 and the other circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners 1 and 3. Accordingly, a direction is issued to the officer-in-charge of the police station concerned to release petitioners 1 and 3 on bail for a period of one month in the event of their arrest in connection with the above case on each of Bail A.No.5760/2010 -:2:- them executing a bond for Rs. 15,000/- (Rupees fifteen thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction to the said officer and subject to the following conditions: 1. Petitioners 1 and 3 shall report before the Investigating Officer between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on all Wednesdays. 2. Petitioners 1 and 3 shall make themselves available for interrogation including custodial interrogation as and when required by the Investigating Officer. 3. Petitioners 1 and 3 shall not influence or intimidate the prosecution witnesses nor shall they attempt to tamper with the evidence for the prosecution. 4. Petitioners 1 and 3 shall not commit any offence while on bail. 5. Petitioners 1 and 3 shall surrender before the Magistrate concerned and seek regular bail in the meanwhile. If the petitioners 1 and 3 commit breach of any of the above conditions, the bail granted to them shall be liable to be cancelled. This application is allowed as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. sj
