ORDER

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.1084/2025 of Keezhvaipur Police Station, Pathanamthitta District. The offences alleged are punishable under Sections 332 (a), 127(2), 311, 118(1), 326(g), 103(1) and 109(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita , 2023.

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

9.10.2025 at about 4.30 pm, after having trespassed into the residential house of the defacto complainant, the applicant had demanded the jewellery worn by the defacto complainant which was refused by her. Then the applicant tied a piece of cloth around her neck, inflicted stab injuries on her face, set fire to the house of the defacto complainant, later she succumbed to the injuries sustained and thereby committed the offences.

4. I have heard Sri. M.S. Aneer, the learned counsel for the applicant and Sri. C.K. Suresh, the learned Special Public Prosecutor. 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, she is entitled to bail. On the other hand, the learned Special Public Prosecutor submitted that the alleged incident occurred as a part of the intentional criminal acts of the applicant, and she is not entitled to bail at this stage.

The applicant was remanded to judicial custody on

11.10.2025. The applicant aged 30 years brutally murdered her neighbour aged 61 years, who was a lady with disability. 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 her part. 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.
