Application for anticipatory bail.
2. According to the prosecution, the petitioners came in a motor
cycle on 6-3-2008 at about 9.30 a.m. and threw country bombs on the
defacto-complainant, who was on a bicycle, purchasing newspaper. He
sustained injury and another person also sustained injury in the accident. A
crime under sections 308, 324 read with section 34 IPC and sections 3 and
4 of the Explosive Substances Act was registered against the petitioners on
a complaint made by the defacto-complainant.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the
petitioners were not implicated as per the F.I.S. Their names were not
stated. The allegation is that persons identifiable by sight committed the
crime. Therefore the petitioners are totally innocent of the allegations made
and they are only workers and they have nothing to do with the offence. It
is also brought to my notice that this is allegedly a politically motivated
crime and that there is a clash between the N.D.F. workers and the B.J.P.
Workers.
BA 3451/2008 -2-
4. The learned Public Prosecutor submitted that on investigation,
the petitioners are arrayed as accused 1 to 3. There are sufficient materials
to connect the petitioners in the crime. The petitioners were absconding
and they could not be arrested so far. Their custodial interrogation is
essential for an effective investigation and this application is opposed. On
hearing both sides, I am satisfied that this is not a fit case to grant
anticipatory bail.
Hence, the application is dismissed.
K. HEMA,
JUDGE.
