Petitioner is accused in Crime No.383 of 2014 of the Aroor Police station for the offences punishable under Secs.324 and 307 of the Indian Penal Code, is in custody from 01.05.2014 and seeks bail. 2. Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the application. It is submitted that on 30.04.2014 at the relevant time the petitioner, due to previous enmity voluntarily caused hurt and attempted to cause death of the defacto complainant with an iron pipe and shaving blade.
3. Learned counsel submitted that the allegations are not true.
4. On hearing both sides it is revealed that the weapons are already recovered. Petitioner is not reported to be involved in any other case. In the circumstances, I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioner but subject to stringent conditions to prevent recurrence of such incidents in future.
Application is allowed as under.
Petitioner is granted bail in Crime No.383 of 2014 of the Aroor Police station and shall be released (if not required to be detained otherwise) on his executing bond for Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty five thousand only) with two sureties for the like sum each to the satisfaction of the Jurisdictional magistrate and subject to the following conditions.
(a) One of the sureties shall be a close relative of the petitioner.
(b) Petitioner shall report to the investigating officer on every Saturday between 10.00 am and 12.00 pm for a period of two months or until filing of the final report, whichever is earlier.
(c) Petitioner shall report to the investigating officer as and when required for interrogation.
(d) Petitioner shall not get involved any offence during the period of this bail.
(e) Petitioner shall not intimidate or influence the witnesses.

Shaji V. State of Kerala (AIR 2006 SC 100).
