B.A.No.2031 of 2008

Dated this the 3rd day of April, 2008
ORDER
Application for regular bail. Petitioners are accused 1 to 3, 5
and 6. They face allegations in a crime registered alleging
offences punishable, inter alia, under Section 326 r/w 149 I.P.C.
The allegation is that the motive for the crime is political
animosity. The alleged incident took place on 18.01.08. All the
petitioners along with accused 4 had come before this Court to
claim anticipatory bail and this Court, by order dt.12.03.08 in
B.A.No.1481 of 2008, had rejected the said prayer for anticipatory
bail. Thereafter the petitioners have surrendered before the
learned Magistrate on 17.03.08. They continue in custody from
that date.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioners prays, the
learned Public Prosecutor does not oppose the said prayer and I
am satisfied, in the facts and circumstances of this case, that the
petitioners can be granted regular bail now. The injury which
brings the case within the sweep of Section 326 I.P.C is one of
breaking a tooth, submits the learned Public Prosecutor.
B.A.No.2031 of 2008 2
3. In the result, this application is allowed. The
petitioners shall be released on bail on the following terms and
conditions.
i) The petitioners shall execute bonds for Rs.50,000/-
(Rupees Fifty thousand only) each with two solvent sureties each
for the like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate;
ii) The petitioners shall make themselves available for
interrogation before the Investigating Officer between 10 a.m and
12 noon on all Mondays and Fridays for a period of one month and
thereafter as and when directed by the Investigating Officer in
writing to do so.
(R.BASANT, JUDGE)
