ORDER
Application for regular bail. Petitioner is the 2nd accused.
Altogether there are five accused persons. Some of the co-
accused have not been arrested so far. The alleged incident took
place on 26.03.07. The petitioner was arrested and continues in
custody from 4.06.07. The petitioner had come to this Court for
bails earlier. This is the third application for bail filed by the the
petitioner. This order must be read in continuation of the earlier
orders dated 19.07.07 & 27.07.07 and I am not hence adverting
to facts in detail. Suffice it to say that it is a case of group rivalry
between two groups of goondas in the locality, which led to the
incident in question.
2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposes the application.
The wound certificate has been read over to me which reveals the
seriousness and the nature of injuries suffered. Having
considered all the relevant inputs I find merit in the opposition by
the learned Public Prosecutor. I am of the opinion that the
B.A.No.4881 of 2007
2
allegation are serious and grave and the petitioner is not entitled
to be released on bail even at this stage. I take note of the
submission that the first accused has since been arrested and
third accused has not been arrested so far.
3. In the result, this petition is dismissed. However, I may
hasten to observe that the petitioner shall be at liberty to move
this court or the Sessions court for bail again at a later stage of
the investigation not, at any rate, prior to 25/08/2007. The
police shall, in the meantime, make every endeavour to complete
the investigation by that date.
