Petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C.

2. Petitioner is accused in Crime No.703 of 2015 of Town West Police station, Thrissur. He is alleged to have committed the offences under Secs.341 and 354 of Indian Penal Code. The prosecution case is that he wrongfully restrained the first informant and caught hold of her by her hand and made sexually coloured remarks.

3. Heard both sides.

4. The petitioner is the tenant of the first informant. It is submitted that there is a dispute between them. Custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not necessary for effective investigation. So I am inclined to allow the prayer of the petitioner.

In the result, the 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.3121 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.

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