¶21

Petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C.

¶22

Petitioner is the accused in Crime No.5475 of 2014

¶23

of the Perumbavoor Police Station, registered for the offences punishable under Section 307 IPC and Section 27 of the Arms Act.

¶24

The allegation against the petitioner is that on 23.12.2014, at 2.20 p.m., the accused attacked the defacto complainant with a sword stick and inflicted a cut injury on the head of the defacto complainant with the sword stick, thereby attempting to commit murder.

¶25

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Public Prosecutor. Perused the CD.

¶26

The contents of the CD prima facie reveal the

¶27

B.A. No.391 of 2015 2

¶28

complicity of the petitioner. Wound certificate of the defacto complainant, which finds a place among the records in the CD, reveals the seriousness of the injury sustained to the defacto complainant. The investigation of this case is not over as the weapon has not yet been recovered. Considering all the above and the present stage of the investigation, I am satisfied that this is not a fit case wherein anticipatory bail can be granted to the petitioner.

¶29

The learned counsel for the petitioner seeks for an opportunity to the petitioner to surrender before the investigating officer and to co-operate with the investigation.

¶30

In the result, this bail application is dismissed. At the same time, if so advised, the petitioner may surrender before the investigating officer within ten days from today and in such case, the investigating officer can interrogate the petitioner, effect recovery if any, and conduct the investigation and produce the petitioner without delay before the concerned Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court, where the petitioner

¶31

B.A. No.391 of 2015 3

¶32

can move for bail. In such case, the learned Magistrate shall

¶33

pass appropriate orders, preferably on the same day itself, provided advance notice on such application has been given

¶34

to the Assistant Public Prosecutor also.
