This is an application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of
the Code of Criminal Procedure. The petitioner is accused No.2 in
Crime No.358 of 2009 of Koyilandy Police Station.
2. The offences alleged against the accused persons are
under Sections 143, 148, 448, 326, 506(ii) and 308 read with Section
149 of the Indian Penal Code.
3. The petitioner herein and seven others filed Crl.M.C.No.832
of 2009 before the Court of Sessions, Kozhikode Division praying for
the grant of anticipatory bail. That application was disposed by the
Sessions Court as per Annexure A order dated 30.6.2009. The
prayer for anticipatory bail was granted in favour of petitioners 1, 3,
4, 6, 7 and 8 in the application before the learned Sessions Judge.
However, anticipatory bail was refused to the petitioner herein and
another on the ground that the petitioner is involved in other cases
as well.

cases in which the petitioner is involved, the offences alleged against
the petitioner are only bailable offences.
5. Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the
case, the nature of the offence, the injury sustained and other
circumstances, I am of the view that anticipatory bail can be granted
to the petitioner. There will be a direction that in the event of the
arrest of the petitioner, the officer in charge of the police station shall
release him on bail on his executing bond for Rs.15,000/- with two
solvent sureties for the like amount to the satisfaction of the officer
