O R D E R
This is an application for anticipatory bail filed underSection 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.
2. The petitioner is the accused in Crime No.1650 ofThodupuzha Police Station. The offences alleged arepunishable under Sections 354, 354A(ii), 354B and 294(b) ofIndian Penal Code, 1860.
3. The allegations levelled against the petitioner arethat at about 10.45 p.m. on 03.12.2022 the petitioner abusedthe defacto complainant and caught hold of her with a view tooutrage her modesty at the compound of the Al-Azar College,Perumpillichira Kara, Kumaramangalam Village, Thodupuzha.
4. The petitioner would contend that he did not involvein the alleged crime and without any material or evidence, hewas implicated in the crime.
5. The learned Public Prosecutor objects grant of anticipatory bail on the ground that both the petitioner and thedefacto complainant are the students of the same college andthere is every likelihood of the petitioner causinginconvenience to the defacto complainant in the event ofreleasing him on bail.
6. Having heard the learned counsel on both sides andconsidering the nature of the offence, I am of the view that thedetention of the petitioner during the period of investigation isnot necessary in this case.
In the result, the bail application is allowed and thepetitioner is directed to surrender before the investigatingofficer within two weeks. After interrogation and in the eventof his being arrested, he shall be released on bail on theexecution of a bond for Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousandonly), with two solvent sureties for the like amount each, to thesatisfaction of the investigating officer, and on the followingconditions:
