Petitioner is accused in Crime No.504 of 2014 of the Kurathikadu Police station for the offence punishable under Sec.332 of the Indian Penal Code, is in custody from 25.05.2014 and seeks bail. 2. Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the application. It is submitted that on 24.05.2014 at about 9 a.m., the petitioner was found in a drunken state on the public road and when the Sub Inspector tried to take him to custody, himself and the Police Constables were attacked.
3. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner also.
4. The petitioner is in custody from 25.05.2014.
I am satisfied that further detention of the petitioner is not required. Hence I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioner but subject to conditions.
The application is allowed as under.
Petitioner is granted bail in Crime No.504 of 2014 of the Kurathikadu Police station and shall be released on bail (if not required to be detained otherwise) on his executing bond for Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty thousand only) with two sureties for the like sum each to the satisfaction of the jurisdictional magistrate and subject to the following conditions:
