ORDER
The petitioner who was arrested and remanded to judicial custody on 30.06.2021 for the offences under Sections 294(b) and 307 of IPC, in Crime No.694 of 2021, on the file of the respondent police, seeks bail.
2. This is the third bail application filed before Court. The case of the prosecution is that there was previous enmity between the petitioner and the defacto complainant's husband, as a result of which, the petitioner along with other accused persons had abused the defacto complainant's husband and attacked him with iron rod and caused injuries. Hence, the complaint.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is not involved in the offence and he has been falsely implicated. He further submits that he is in jail from 30.06.2021. Hence he prays for grant of bail to the petitioner.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent submitted that the injured person has been discharged from the hospital and there is one previous case pending as against the petitioner. However, he vehemently opposed for grant of bail to the petitioner.
5. Considering the fact that the injured person has been discharged from the hospital and also considering the period of incarceration suffered by the petitioner, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner with certain conditions.
6. Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his executing a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/-(Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two sureties, each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate Court, Rasipuram, and on further condition that:
(a)the sureties shall affix their photographs and left thumb impression in the surety bond and the Magistrate may obtain a copy of their Aadhar card or Bank pass Book to ensure their identity; (b)the petitioner shall report before the respondent police daily at 10.30 a.m., until further orders.
(c)the petitioner shall not tamper with evidence or witness either during investigation or trial;
(d)the petitioner shall not abscond either during investigation or trial;
(e)on breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the learned Magistrate/ Trial Court is entitled to take appropriate action against the petitioner in accordance with law as if the conditions have been imposed and the petitioner released on bail by the learned Magistrate/Trial Court himself as laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in P.K.Shaji Vs. State of Kerala [(2005) AIR SCW 5560]; and; (f)if the accused thereafter absconds, a fresh FIR can be registered under Section 229-A IPC.
