ORDER
This is an application filed u/s 439 of Codeof Criminal Procedure seeking regular bail.
2. The petitioner is the accused in CrimeNo.87/2021 of Kayamkulam Police Station. The offences alleged are under Sections 465, 468 and471 IPC and Section 12(1)(b) of the IndianPassport Act.
3. The prosecution case in short is that the accused obtained a passport from theRegional Passport Office, Thiruvananthapuram on16.06.2000 and concealing the same he obtainedanother passport from Riyadh by making falsedocuments and thereby committed the offence.
4. Heard both sides and perused the casediary.
5. The learned counsel for the petitionersubmitted that the petitioner is absolutely innocent and he has been falsely implicated inthe present case. He further submitted thatthere are no materials to connect the petitionerwith the alleged crime and hence he is entitledto get bail. The learned Public Prosecutoropposed the bail application. He contended thatthe alleged incident occurred as a part of theintentional criminal acts of the petitioner andif the petitioner is released on bail at thisstage, it would affect the course ofinvestigation.
6. Perusal of the case diary would revealthat prima facie there are materials on recordto connect the petitioner with the crime.However, the petitioner was arrested on24.12.2021. The only non-bailable offenceinvolved is Section 468 of IPC. In order toattract Section 468 of IPC the forgery must befor the purpose of cheating. The prosecution has no case that the petitioner forged documents forcheating. In view of the nature of the crime andthe stage of investigation, I do not find anyreason to hold that the continued detention ofthe petitioner is required for any purpose. Theinvestigation seems to have reached a fairstage. For all these reasons, the petitioner isentitled to be released on bail on conditions.
In the result, the application is allowed onthe following conditions:-
(i) The petitioner shall be released on bail on executing a bond for Rs.1,00,000/- (RupeesOne lakh only) with two solvent sureties for thelike sum each to the satisfaction of thejurisdictional Magistrate/Court.
(ii) operate with the investigation.
The petitioner shall fully co-
(iii) The petitioner shall appear before
the investigating officer between 10.00 a.m and BAIL APPL. NO. 10024 OF 2021
11.00 a.m on every Saturday until furtherorders. The petitioner shall also appear beforethe investigating officer as and when requiredby him.
(iv) offence of like nature while on bail.
The petitioner shall not commit any
(v) The petitioner shall not make any
attempt to contact any of the prosecutionwitnesses, directly or through any other person,or any other way try to tamper with the evidenceor influence any witnesses or other personsrelated to the investigation.
(vi) The petitioner shall not leave
State of Kerala without the permission of thetrial Court.
