Petitioners are accused in Crime No.337 of 2014 of the Chakkarakal Police station for the offences punishable under Secs.143, 147, 120(b), 364 and 302 read with Sec.149 of the Indian Penal Code, are in custody from various dates and seek bail. 2. Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the application. It is submitted that sister of accused 1 and 2 was earlier working with the deceased, a maison and due to some reason, she left him and joined another site. The deceased went there and created problem which was communicated to accused nos.1 and 2 who, along with others attacked the deceased and assaulted him which resulted in his death.
3. Learned counsel requested for bail since further custody of the petitioners is not required.
4. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that further detention of these accused is not necessary. They are not reported to be involved in any other case from the Chakkarakkal Police station. Hence, I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioners but subject to conditions.
Application is allowed as under.
