Petitioners are accused 1 to 4 in Crime No.382 of 2014 of the Varantharappally Police Station for the offences punishable under Sections 452, 324, 427, 506(ii) and 308 read with Sec.34 of the Indian Penal Code, apprehend arrest and have filed this application. 2. Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the application.
It is submitted that on 01.04.2014 at 1.30 a.m petitioners trespassed into the house of the de facto complainant, attacked him with iron pipe and granite stone and some of the household articles were damaged causing loss to the de facto complainant. It is submitted that the attack was due to political rivalry.
3. Learned counsel submitted that the allegations are not true. According to the learned counsel, Crime Nos.379 and 380 of 2014 are registered against the son of the de facto complainant and others for attacking some of the petitioners on the same day. It is submitted that registration of Crime No.382 of 2014 is a counter-blast to Crime Nos.379 and 380 of 2014. Learned counsel
B.A. No. 3248 of 2014
-: 2 :-
has invited my attention to the wound certificate of the 4th petitioner to show that he was admitted in the hospital on 01.04.2014.
4. On going through the certificate I am unable to make out anything except that one Vasu was admitted in the hospital on 01.04.2014 and discharged on 02.04.2014. In the nature of the allegations made, the request made by the petitioners for pre- arrest bail cannot be allowed. Petitioners if so advised can surrender before the Officer investigating the case. In case the petitioners are arrested, they shall be produced before the jurisdictional magistrate as early as possible.
Application is disposed of as above.
THOMAS P. JOSEPH, JUDGE.
