O R D E R
Petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C.
2.
The petitioner apprehends that he will be arrested by the police on the accusation that he has committed the offence under Section 305 of Indian Penal Code.
3.
He conducts an Ayurvedic medical shop. The boy who committed suicide had come there to buy some medicines. The petitioner told him that those medicines were not available at ayurvedic shops. Immediately, thereafter, the mobile phone of the petitioner was found missing. He lodged a complaint with the police and named the boy as the suspect. The police questioned the boy. He committed suicide. Prosecution alleges that the petitioner abetted his suicide.
4.
Heard.
5.
The police seized a suicide note which says that the owner of Nandana Medicals is responsible for his death. The petitioner is the owner of Nayana medicals. The
B.A. No.2940 of 2015 suicide note does not mention how the petitioner is responsible for the death of the boy. It is not proper for me to mention anything about the merits of the case at this stage. But the facts of the case compel me to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
In the result, this application is allowed.
1.
The petitioner shall be released on bail after interrogation on his executing a bond for Rs.Twenty five thousand only with two solvent sureties each for the like sum if the 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.
4. He shall not destroy or tamper with evidence. In case of violation of any of the above conditions, the learned Magistrate is empowered to cancel the bail in accordance with the law.
