THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28.07.2026, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:

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 applicants are the accused Nos.4, 10 and 11 in Crime No.306/2026 of Karipur Police Station, Malappuram District. The offences alleged are punishable under Sections 310(5), 310(4), 61(2), 111(1)(i) and 111(7) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

3. The prosecution case, in short, is that the accused Nos.1 to 13 hatched a criminal conspiracy to commit dacoity by abducting one Subair, who was coming from abroad, and had arrived at the vicinity of the Calicut Airport at about 10:00 p.m on 07.06.2026 in three vehicles for the purpose of executing their plan to rob him of his gold and cash and thereby committed the aforesaid offences.

4. I have heard Sri. K.Rakesh, the learned counsel for the applicants and Smt. Aneeda Beegum, the learned Senior Public Prosecutor. Perused the case diary.

5. The learned counsel for the applicants submitted that the applicants are innocent and have been falsely implicated in the present case. The counsel further submitted that no materials are on record to connect the applicants with the alleged crime; hence, they are entitled to bail. On the other hand, the learned Senior Public Prosecutor submitted that the alleged incident occurred as a part of the intentional criminal acts of the applicants, and they are not entitled to bail at this stage.

6. The applicants were remanded to judicial custody on 07.06.2026. The investigation is almost over. The applicants have no criminal antecedents. For these reasons, I do not find any reason to hold that the continued detention of the applicants is required for any purpose. Hence, the applicants are entitled to be released on bail.

In the result, the application is allowed on the following conditions: -

(i) The applicants shall be released on bail on executing a bond for Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees One lakh only) each with two solvent sureties for the like sum each to the satisfaction of the jurisdictional Magistrate/Court.

(ii) The applicants shall fully co-operate with the investigation.

(iii) The applicants shall appear before the investigating officer between 10.00 a.m and 11.00 a.m every Saturday until further orders. They shall also appear before the investigating officer as and when required.

(iv) The applicants shall not commit any offence of a like nature while on bail.

(v) The applicants shall not attempt to contact any of the prosecution witnesses, directly or through any other person, or in any other way try to tamper with the evidence or influence any witnesses or other persons related to the investigation.

(vi) The applicants shall not leave the State of Kerala without the permission of the trial Court.

(vii) The application, if any, for deletion/modification of the bail conditions or cancellation of bail on the grounds of violating the bail conditions shall be filed at the jurisdictional court.
