Dated this the 25th day of June 2007
O R D E R
Application for regular bail. The petitioner is the fifth
accused in a crime registered inter alia under Sections 326 and
307 read with 149 I.P.C. The alleged incident took place on
17/9/2006. The victim has allegedly suffered a grievous injury.
Altogether there are fifteen accused persons. There are three
injured persons. The petitioner was arrested on 15/6/2007. He
continues in custody from that date.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that
the petitioner is absolutely innocent. The petitioner may now be
enlarged on bail subject to appropriate conditions, it is prayed.
The learned Public Prosecutor opposes the application. The
learned Public Prosecutor only prays that some further time may
be granted to the investigators to complete the investigation
before the petitioner is released from custody. I am satisfied
in these circumstances that bail can be granted to the petitioner
subject to appropriate conditions.
B.A.No.3805/07 2
3. In the result, this petition is allowed. The petitioner
shall be released on bail on the following terms and conditions:
i) The petitioner shall not be released on bail on the
strength of this order prior to 02/07/2007. The police shall, in
the meantime, make every endeavour to complete the

ii) He shall execute a bond for Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty
