O R D E R

Petition filed under Sec.438 Cr.P.C.

2. The petitioner is alleged to have committed the offences under Secs.354, 406, 420 and 506 of Indian Penal Code. The allegation is that the petitioner took the first informant in a car and outraged her modesty. The co-accused received from her cash and gold ornaments together valued at Rs.3,61,000/-. He failed to return the amount and the gold ornaments.

3. Heard both sides.

4. I have perused the letter written by the first informant to the Dy.S.P., Aluva which finds a place in the case diary. There are some suspicious circumstances in the case. So I am inclined to grant the prayer of the petitioner.

In the result this bail application is allowed. 1) The petitioner shall be released on bail after interrogation on his executing a bond for Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty five thousand only)

Bail Appl. No.1426 of 2015 2 with two solvent sureties each for the like sum if he is arrested by the Police in connection with this case.

2) He shall appear before the Investigating Officer for interrogation if he is so required by him in writing.

3) He shall not destroy or tamper with evidence.

4) He shall not harass the defacto complainant or her relatives.

In case of violation of any of the above conditions, the learned Magistrate is empowered to cancel the bail in accordance with the law.
