The Applicant is apprehending his arrest in Crime No.947 of 2025 registered at Sakinaka Police Station for the offences punishable under Sections 318(4), 329(1), 333, 336(2), 338, 340(2), 352, 351(2), 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

3.

The allegations against the present Applicant and other co-accused are that they forcibly evicted the tenant of the complainant from the premises owned by the complainant. It is alleged that the Applicant and other co-accused got prepared forged documents with respect to the said premises and transferred the same in favour of the present Applicant. 4.

I have heard Learned Counsel for the Applicant and Learned APP for the Respondent-State.

Learned Counsel for the Applicant submits that the Applicant has nothing to do with the alleged crime. It is submitted that this Court has granted anticipatory bail to similarly circumstanced co-accused by order dated 11th November 2025 in Anticipatory Bail Application No.3081 of 2025.

6.

On the other hand, Learned APP for the Respondent-State submits that considering the nature of offence, the Applicant may not be released on anticipatory bail.

7.

I have perused the First Information Report. The main allegations are against the co-accused Shalini Appukuttan. There appears to be no need of custodial interrogation. Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to release the Applicant on anticipatory bail. Hence, the following order:-
