                                ORDER

This is an application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The petitioner is the accused No.6 in Crime No.23/CR/SI/2009 of CBCID, Thiruvananthapuram.

2. The offences alleged against the petitioner are under Sections 468, 471, 420 and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the fifth accused in the same crime was granted anticipatory bail by this Court as per the order dated 19th May 2009 in B.A.No.2726 of 2009. Other accused were also released on bail by this Court in another Bail Application, submits the counsel.

4. Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature of the offence and other circumstances, I am of the view that anticipatory bail can be granted to the petitioner. There will be a direction that in the event of the arrest of the petitioner, the officer in charge of the police station shall release him on bail on his executing bond for Rs.25,000/- with two solvent sureties for the like amount to the satisfaction of the officer concerned, subject to the following BA No.3065/2009 2 conditions:

a) The petitioner shall appear before the investigating officer for interrogation as and when required;

b) The petitioner shall not try to influence the prosecution witnesses or tamper with the evidence;

c) The petitioner shall not commit any offence or indulge in any prejudicial activity while on bail;

The Bail Application is allowed to the extent indicated above.
