ORDER

This Bail Application is filed under Section

483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita

(BNSS), 2023.

2. The petitioner is an accused in Crime

No.01/2025 of Nemom Police Station,

Thiruvananthapuram. The above case is

registered against the petitioner alleging offences

punishable under Sections 118(1) and 109 of the

Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023.

3. This is a sad story of a mother. The

petitioner herein who is aged 25 years,


BA No.2830 of 2025
3

2025:KER:19622

demanded money from his mother, who is the

victim in this case, for the purpose of celebrating

the new year eve. The mother refused to pay the

amount. Then the petitioner went out of the

house and came back with a knife and inflicted

cut injuries on the head, face and hand of the

victim with a view to commit murder. Hence, it is

alleged that the accused committed the offence.

The petitioner was arrested on 01.01.2025.

4. Heard the learned counsel appearing for

the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor.

5. The counsel for the petitioner submitted

that the petitioner is in custody from 01.01.2025

and he is ready to abide any conditions imposed

by this Court, if this Court grants him bail. The

counsel also submitted that the incident is not

2025:KER:19622

happened as alleged by the prosecution.

6. The Public Prosecutor seriously opposed

the bail application. Public Prosecutor submitted

that the mother sustained 12 injuries all over the

body.

7. The mental condition of the youngsters

of our country is astonishing and disturbing. For

not paying money for celebrating new year eve,

the petitioner attacked his own mother and

inflicted serious injuries. There is a malayalam

proverb, which read like this: "അമ്മയെയും

പെങ്ങളെയും തിരിച്ചറിയാത്തവൻ". When this case

came up for consideration, this Court took a stand

that, unless the mother submit before this Court

that she has no grievance against the petitioner,

this Court will not grant bail to the petitioner.


BA No.2830 of 2025

2025:KER:19622

Now, an affidavit is filed by the mother stating

that she has no objection to grant him bail. The

Public Prosecutor instructed the Investigating

Officer to verify the statement. The Public

Prosecutor submitted that a statement of mother

is recorded and the same is handed over to the

Court. The statement of the mother will further

sadden everybody, which reads like this:

"എന്റെ മകൻ ജയിലിൽ കഴിയുന്നതിൽ ഒരമ്മ


എന്നനിലയ്ക്കു എനിക്ക് സഹിക്കാൻ പറ്റുന്നില്ല.”

8. This sentence contain the tears of this

unfortunate mother. I am sure that the wounds on

her body might not have been healed. But her

love to her son over takes the wounds. Thinking

the fate and trauma facing by the mother, I am

forced to grant bail to the petitioner. A mother’s

love for her son is like a rose - it will bloom

2025:KER:19622

forever. There is no purpose in blaming the

young generation. The society and parents

should watch them closely and monitor that their

relationship is with good people. No purpose will

be served by retaining this youngster in

detention, to continue the trauma of his mother.

He can be released on bail after imposing

stringent conditions. There will be a direction to

the petitioner to appear before the Investigating

Officer on all Mondays at 10.00 AM, till final report

is filed.

Hence, this Bail Application is allowed with

the following conditions:

1. Petitioner shall be released on bail on

executing a bond for Rs.50,000/-

(Rupees Fifty Thousand only) with

two solvent sureties each for the like

sum to the satisfaction of the

jurisdictional Court.

2. The petitioner shall appear before

the Investigating Officer for

interrogation as and when required.

The petitioner shall co-operate with

the investigation and shall not,

directly or indirectly make any

inducement, threat or promise to

any person acquainted with the facts

of the case so as to dissuade him

from disclosing such facts to the

Court or to any police officer.

3. Petitioner shall not leave India

without permission of the

jurisdictional Court.

the Investigating Officer on all

Mondays at 10.00 AM, till final report

is filed.

6. If there is any criminal activity from

the petitioner, the mother of the

petitioner can report the same to the

jurisdictional police station and the

Station House Officer can file

appropriate application to the

jurisdictional court to cancel the bail

and if such an application is

received, the jurisdictional court can

9

2025:KER:19622

cancel the bail.

7. If any of the above conditions are

violated by the petitioner, the

jurisdictional Court can cancel the
