O R D E R

¶22

The petitioners are the accused in Crime No.313/2015 of Thenhippalam Police Station, registered under Sections 143, 147, 148, 323, 341 and 326 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code.

The petitioner has filed this application under Section

¶24

438 Cr.P.C.

¶25

Heard.

¶26

The learned Public Prosecutor has no serious objection in allowing this application.

¶27

The allegation is that on 31.03.2015 at 7.00 p.m., the petitioners and the other accused attacked the defacto complainant, causing fracture on the nasal bone of the defacto complainant. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the petitioners are studying for B Tech in the Institute of Engineering, Calicut University. There is no allegation that the fracture on the nasal bone of the de facto complainant was caused due to the attack with any weapon. It has been submitted by the learned Public Prosecutor that the petitioners are not involved in any other offence of similar nature. The petitioners are students. Considering the facts and circumstances, including the fact that the petitioners are students, I am inclined to grant the relief under Section 438 Cr.P.C. in favour of the petitioners.
