ORDER

¶25

Petitioners are some of the accused in Crime

¶26

No.17/2014 of Marayoor Police Station. The offence alleged

¶27

against the petitioners is under Section 379 read with Section 34 of I.P.C.

¶28

The allegation against the petitioners is that at

¶29

the instructions given by the first accused petitioners cut and removed trees from the Government land.

¶30

Learned Public Prosecutor opposes the anticipatory application. Case diary perused.

¶31

The case diary shows that first accused was arrested and subsequently released on bail. According to the petitioners they are coolie workers of that locality and they are innocent. Since the petitioners are ready to co-operate with the investigation, I am of the view that granting anticipatory bail with suitable conditions will not adversely affect the investigation.

¶33
