THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
23.04.2024, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
2024:KER:31281
B.A.No.3144/2024
-:2:-
Dated this the 23rd day of April, 2024
The application is filed under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973(in short, ‘Code’), for an order of pre-arrest bail.
2. The petitioner apprehends arrest by the Vadakancherry Police Station, Palakkad, in an unknown crime for allegedly committing the offences punishable under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and Section 66D of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
3. Heard; Sri. G. Ranju Mohan, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Smt.Neema T.V., the learned Senior Public Prosecutor.
4. The learned Public Prosecutor, on instructions, submitted that the petitioner is the third accused in Crime No.186/2024 of the Vadakancherry B.A.No.3144/2024 Police Station, registered against the accused for allegedly committing the offences punishable under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and Section 66D of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
The said submission is recorded.
5. On a reading of the bail application, none of the details pertaining to the incident, crime number or the offences have been mentioned. The bail application is vague and lacks the requisite details, particularly the accusation levelled against the petitioner. Therefore, in view of the conspicuous absence of the elementary details, I hold that the application is not sustainable, and the petitioner would be at liberty to file a fresh application after incorporating all the requisite details.
In the result, the bail application is dismissed, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to file a fresh bail application after incorporating his rank, crime number, the offences and also the specific 2024:KER:31281 B.A.No.3144/2024 accusation levelled against him.
