The petitioner is the accused in Crime No.412/2025 of Neyyattinkara Police Station, Thiruvananthapuram. The above case is registered against the petitioner alleging offences punishable under Sections 110, 118(1) and 296(b) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023. 3. The prosecution case is that, on 02.03.2025 at about 04.30 PM, the defacto complainant was talking with his relative and at that time, the petitioner came there and the defacto BA No.4002 of 2025 3 2025:KER:27115 complainant asked the petitioner to stand away from there as he was discussing family matters. Infuriated on that incident, it is alleged that the petitioner assaulted the defacto complainant with a knife on the left wings and caused an injury. It is further alleged that the petitioner again attempted to assault the defacto complainant with a knife aiming on his head and the same was evaded. Hence, it is alleged that the accused committed the offence. 4. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor. The Public Prosecutor opposed the bail application. 5. After hearing the counsel for the petitioner in detail, I am of the considered opinion that, it is not a fit case in which the bail can be granted under Section 482 of BNSS. At this stage the counsel for the petitioner submitted that, the petitioner is ready BA No.4002 of 2025 4 2025:KER:27115 to surrender before the Investigating Officer. The counsel also submitted that, there may be a direction to produce the petitioner after interrogation before the jurisdictional court and there may be a direction to the jurisdictional court to consider the bail application on the date of production of the petitioner. I think, that prayer can be allowed. Considering the submission of the counsel for the petitioner, this bail application is disposed of with the following conditions: 1) The petitioner will surrender before the Investigating Officer within two weeks from today. 2) If the petitioner surrender before the Investigating Officer as directed above, the Investigating Officer is free to interrogate the petitioner. If arrest is recorded, the petitioner shall be produced before the jurisdictional BA No.4002 of 2025 5 2025:KER:27115 court on the date of surrender itself. 3) The petitioner is free to file bail application before the jurisdictional court at the time of producing him. If such a bail application is filed with advance copy to the prosecutor concerned, the jurisdictional court will consider that bail application in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders in it preferably on the date of filing of the same itself. 4) The Investigating Officer is free to file custody application, if necessary, at the time of producing the petitioner and if such an application is filed, the jurisdictional court is free to pass appropriate orders in it also.
