The court emphasized the seriousness and premeditated nature of the crime, justifying the denial of bail.

O R D E R

This application is filed under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita , 2023 (for short, BNSS )

seeking regular bail.

2. The applicant is the sole accused in Crime No.886/2025 of Koipuram Police Station, Pathanamthitta District. The offences alleged are punishable under Sections 332 (a), 109 and 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

3. The prosecution case, in short, is that on

02.08.2025 at about 9:00 p.m., following a domestic quarrel, the applicant inflicted stab injuries on his wife, her father and her sister. The wife later succumbed to the injuries, while the other two injured persons survived after medical treatment and thereby committed the offences.

4. I have heard Sri.Anandhu Satheesh, the learned counsel for the applicant and Sri.C.K.Suresh, the learned Special Government Pleader. Perused the case diary.

5. The learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. The counsel further submitted that no materials are on record to connect the applicant with the alleged crime; hence, he is entitled to bail. On the other hand, the learned Special Government Pleader submitted that the alleged incident occurred as a part of the intentional criminal acts of the applicant, and he is not entitled to bail at this stage.

6. The applicant was remanded to judicial custody on

07.08.2025. A perusal of the case diary would reveal that the accusation against the applicant is very serious, and it prima facie shows a premeditated criminal act on his part. The applicant brutally killed his own wife and caused serious injuries to his father-in-law and sister-in-law of his wife. Considering the nature of the crime, the gravity of the offence, the complicity of the applicant in it, and the facts and circumstances mentioned above, I am of the view that the applicant cannot be released on bail at this stage. The bail application, accordingly, is dismissed.
