-------------------------------------------- B.A. No. 8315 of 2014 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of July, 2015

O R D E R

The 2nd accused in Crime No. 1670/2014 of East Police Station, Kollam, for offences punishable under Section 408, 420 and 34 I.P.C. is the petitioner herein. 2.

The allegation of the de facto complainant is that the accused no. 2 had offered to obtain an admission to the son of the de facto complainant in a Professional College on payment of Rs. 16,00,000/-. It is alleged that on 06.06.2013 a sum of Rs. 5,00,000/- and on 14.06.2014, a further sum of Rs.11,00,000/- were received by the 1st accused, at his residence, in the presence of the 2nd accused. It is alleged that thereafter, admission was not procured nor the amount returned. Hence the complaint was lodged. Police is investigating

B.A. No. 8315 of 2015 and apprehending arrest, the petitioner has approached this Court seeking pre arrest bail.

3.

Heard and examined the records.

4.

The allegation against the accused is that the amount was received by both the accused. The allegation is very serious. It involves payment of huge money for an illegal purpose. The investigation has to unravel the method of commission of crime, the use of the money received and whether other persons are also involved. Hence I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The learned counsel for the petitioner offered to surrender before the Magistrate, which may do, if so advised.
