Petitions filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C.
2. Petitioners in B.A.No.8148/2014 are A1 to A3 and the petitioner in B.A.No.8140/2014 is A4 in Crime No.989/2014 of the Kodumon Police Station, Pathanamthitta registered for the offences punishable under Sections 452, 354(B), 341, 324 and 307 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code.
3. The allegations against the petitioners are that on 07.10.2014 at 7.10 p.m., they, armed with deadly weapons like chopper, sickle, knife, short knife etc., in furtherance of their common intention to commit murder of the defacto complainant and others, committed house trespass into the house of the defacto complainant, and inflicted serious injuries on the younger brother of the defacto complainant and the wife of the defacto complainant. It is also alleged that the 4th accused has torn away the nighty worn by the wife of the defacto complainant by disrobing her and thereby outraging her modesty. The 4th accused was arrested on 09.10.2014 and the other accused were arrested on 24.10.2014.
4. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Public Prosecutor. Perused the C.D.
5. The contents of the CD, prima facie, reveal the complicity of the petitioners. The Public Prosecutor has reported that A1 is an accused in Crime No.912/2014 of the Kodumon Police Station, A2 is an accused in three other criminal cases and A4 is an accused in three other cases. It seems that the injured have sustained very serious injuries. Considering the series of serious criminal antecedents on the part of the accused, the present stage of investigation and the seriousness of the allegations against the petitioners, I am of the view that the petitioners are not entitled to be enlarged on bail.
In the result, these Bail Applications are dismissed.
