O R D E R
Petition filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. The petitioner is the first accused in crime No.407/2014 of Oachira Police Station registered for the offences under Sections 308, 323, 341 & 427 IPC.
2. According to the prosecution, the first informant was traveling in a car when the petitioner and the co-accused stopped the car and assaulted the victim with a chopper. The driver of the car also was assaulted.
3. Heard.
4. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that accused 2 & 3 have already been granted bail by this Court and the petitioner also may be released on bail.
5. The petitioner is the son of the second accused, who was granted bail under Section 439 Cr.P.C. The third accused did not assault the victim with any weapon. It was the petitioner who struck the victim with a chopper. The B.A. No.6255 of 2014 -2- very fact that he was carrying a chopper speaks volumes. Merely because he has been in custody since 11.8.2014 he cannot be granted bail especially in view of the fact that he had been absconding after the incident.
In the result, this application is dismissed.
