Dated this the 16th day of April, 2010
O R D E R
This is an application for regular bail filed by the
petitioner, who is accused in Crime No. 274/2010 of
Kunnamkulam Police Station, in which offences under
Section 376(g) of C.P.C. is involved.
2. The prosecution case is that, the petitioner is the
proprietor of a video shop named SA-AS Communications,
Mazhuvancherry. The decato complainant was working as a
sales girl in the Joy Alukkas Show room, Kollam. She
became friendly with the petitioner on visiting his shop how
and then and the petitioner borrowed money from the
defacto complainant. The petitioner and 4 others have
committed rape to the defacto complainant between
30.8.2008 to 28.1.2010.
4. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner
and also the learned Public Prosecutor.
B.A.No.2164 of 2010
-:2:-
5. The petitioner is arrested only on 3.3.2010. The
investigation in this case is in progress. Considering the
nature of the offences involved in the case, I am not
inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage,
especially since the release of the petitioner at this stage is
likely to affect the investigation adversely and there is no
guarantee that he would not influence the witnesses and
interfere with the investigation.
In the result, there is no merit in the petition for bail
and accordingly, the same is dismissed.
V.K.MOHANAN,
JUDGE
