Muthukumaran v. The State Rep By Its,

Crl.O.P.No.14687 of 2022 G.K.ILANTHIRAIYAN, J.

The petitioner, who was arrested and remanded to judicial custody on 30.04.2022 for the offences punishable under Sections 294(b) & 302 of IPC in crime No.73 of 2022 on the file of the respondent police, seeks bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that the deceased had two sons i.e. the defacto complainant and the petitioner. Since they had three acres of ancestral property, each had one acre. It is alleged that, the petitioner asked the share of the deceased also. Further, the wife of the deceased made a quarrel with the deceased with regard to sharing of family debt of Rs.5 lakhs and she went to the house of the A1 and stayed there. The deceased frequently requested his wife to return to his house, but she did not agree. While being so, on 29.04.2022 at about 7.30 p.m., the petitioner made a quarrel with the deceased. At that time, the petitioner attacked the deceased by using iron rod, due to which the deceased got grievous injuries and died. Hence, the case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is an innocent person and he has been falsely implicated in this case. Hence, he seeks for grant of bail to the petitioner.

4. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that due to the property dispute, the petitioner attacked the deceased with iron road, thereby he sustained grievous injuries on his head and died on the spot. He further submits that already this Court dismissed the petitioner's bail petition in Crl.O.P.No.13345 of 2022. Hence, he vehemently opposed to grant bail to the petitioner.

5. Considering the gravity of the offence committed by the petitioner, which is serious and heinous in nature, and also considering that there is no change in circumstances, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

6. Accordingly, the criminal original petition is dismissed. 11.07.2022 Sma
