                               ORDER

This is an application for bail under Section 439 of the

Code of Criminal Procedure. Petitioners are accused Nos.14 and

15 in Cr.No.707 of 2009 of Taliparamba Police Station.

2. The offences alleged against the petitioners are under

Sections 143, 147, 148, 342, 307, 332, 333, 395 and 427 read

with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3(2) of the

PDPP Act.

3. The prosecution case is that on 15.11.2009 at about 5

PM, when the police party was patrolling in the disputed area in

Taliparamba, where clashes between the workers of Communist

Party of India (Marxist) and of the Indian Union Muslim League

were rampant, the accused persons, 45 in number, came on

fifteen motor bikes and attacked the police party. One Assistant

Sub Inspector of Police sustained serious injuries resulting in a

fracture. Others also sustained injuries. A police jeep was

destroyed by the accused. The wireless set and the official

mobile phone were robbed away by the accused.

granted to some of the accused persons. As per the order dated

28.01.2010 in B. A. No. 399 of 2010, bail was granted to accused

No.13.

6. Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the
