HIGH COURT OF KARNATAKA,
BANGALORE-560001. … RESPONDENT

(BY SRI: K. NAGESHWARAPPA, HCGP)

THIS CRL.P. IS FILED U/S.438 CR.P.C., PRAYING TO
ENLARGE THE PETITIONERS ON BAIL IN THE EVENT OF THEIR
ARREST IN CRIME NO.7/2018 OF DIBBURAHALLI POLICE
STATION, CHIKKABALLAPURA DISTRICT FOR THE OFFENCES
PUNISHABLE UNDER SECTIONS 143, 147, 148, 120B, 498A,
323, 324, 307, 504, 506 R/W 149 OF IPC.

THIS CRL.P COMING ON FOR ORDERS THIS DAY, THE
COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING:-

ORDER

Petitioners are shown as accused Nos.2 to 5 in Crime

No.07/2018 registered under sections 143, 147, 148, 120B,

498A, 323, 324, 307, 504, 506 read with section 149 of Indian

Penal Code.

2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the

learned HCGP.

3. Learned HCGP has not filed any statement of

objections, but has orally opposed the petition.
3

4. The complainant is the wife of accused No.1. The

material allegations made in the complaint are that on

23.01.2018, at 8.00 a.m., when the complainant had gone to

attend nature’s call, accused No.1 followed her and held her

mouth and dragged her to the forest area. Further it is alleged

that the brothers of accused No.1 namely petitioners 1 to 3

(accused No.2 to 4) and petitioner No.4 (accused No.5) held the

complainant and accused No.1 assaulted the complainant with a

knife on her neck and thighs and also kicked her on the chest.

5. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that

accused No.1 against whom there are serious allegations of

assault, is enlarged on bail by the trial court. However, the

application moved by the petitioners has been rejected solely on

the ground that anticipatory bail cannot be granted to the

petitioners as the allegations made against them are serious in

nature.

6. A reading of the complaint indicates that the assault

was made only by accused No.1. The allegation against the

present petitioners is that all of them held the victim to facilitate

accused No.1 to assault her. Therefore, considering the nature
4

of the allegations made against the petitioners, in my view, the

petitioners could be admitted to anticipatory bail as their

custodial interrogation is not necessary.

7. Hence, the following order:-

Criminal petition is allowed. The petitioners are directed

to appear before the Investigating Officer within 15 days from

the date of this order and on their appearance, the Investigating

Officer shall interrogate the petitioners and shall enlarge them

on bail on the same day subject to the following conditions:-

a. The petitioners shall furnish a bond in a sum
of Rs.1.00 lakh (Rupees One lakh only) each
with one surety each for the likesum to the
satisfaction of the Investigating Officer;

b. The petitioners shall appear before the
Investigating Officer as and when required;

c. The petitioners shall cooperate in the
investigation;

d. The petitioners shall not threaten or allure the
prosecution witnesses; and
5

e. The petitioners shall mark their attendance in
Dibburahalli Police Station, Chickballapura
th
district, on the 30 of every month until
submission of the charge-sheet.
