ORDER

¶19

Petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C.

¶20

Petitioner is the first accused in Crime No. 8/2015 of

¶21

Puthukkad Police Station registered for the offences under Sections 341, 323, 324, 506 (ii), 294 (b) and 308 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation is that he along with the co-accused assaulted the victim with a sword.

¶22

The learned counsel submits that in the First Information Statement there is no allegation that it was the petitioner who assaulted the victim with the sword and all other accused have been granted anticipatory bail by this court for the reason that they did not use any weapon.

¶23

Heard.

¶24

The name of the petitioner is mentioned in the First Information Statement. It is stated that the victim had acquaintance with him. Still there is no mention in the FI statement that it was the petitioner who attacked the victim

with the sword. The version in the FI statement is that the person who used the sword was one who could be identified. If that was the petitioner, his name would have been mentioned. Having regard to these facts, I am satisfied that like the other accused, the petitioner also is entitled to anticipatory bail.

¶28

In the result, this application is allowed.

¶29

The petitioner shall be released on bail after

¶30

interrogation on his executing a bond for Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees twenty five thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like sum if he is arrested by the Police in connection with this case.
