O R D E R

Petitioner is the 4th accused (wrongly shown as 3rd accused in the application) in Crime No.326 of 2013 of Pothencode Police Station registered for the offences under Section 376(D) IPC and Sections 3 (1)(XII) of SC/ST (PoA) Act, 1989.

2. It is submitted by the learned counsel that taking into consideration of the period of custody and the fact that the first and second accused were arrested, he may be granted bail

3. Heard both sides.

4. The petitioner is a 30 year old man. He has been in custody since 18.11.2014. The 1st and 2nd accused were taken into custody long ago. It appears that his further detention is not necessary for completion of the investigation. So I am inclined to grant his prayer. In the result, the application is allowed.

1. The petitioner shall be released on bail on his executing a bond for Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned.

B.A. No.53 of 2015

3. He shall not intimidate or attempt to influence the witnesses, nor shall he destroy or attempt to destroy the evidence or interfere with the investigation.

4. He shall surrender his passport, if any, before the learned Magistrate concerned. If he does not have one, he shall file an affidavit to that effect before the learned Magistrate within 7 days of his release.
