\n

Kerala High Court:<\/span> In a bail application filed by well-known director, actor, and script writer Balachandra Menon in a 2007 sexual assault case, the Single Judge Bench of P.V. Kunhikrishnan, J., held that the present case has been registered 17 years after the alleged incident and the accused is a well-known cine artist. The Court stated that men also have pride and dignity. Reiterating the principle of bail is the rule and jail is the exception, the Court granted bail to Balachandra.<\/p>\n

Background<\/h3>\n

The victim filed a complaint stating that in 2007 during the shooting of his movie titled “Dae Ingottu Nokkiye<\/span>”, Balachandra had committed sexual assault by hugging her and pressing her breast. He had also invited her and her friend to his hotel room. She alleged that Balachandra had outraged her modesty by committing such sexual acts and putting body fluids on the body of the victim and her friend. Based on this, an FIR was registered against Balachandra under Sections 354<\/a>, 509<\/a>, and 506<\/a> of the Penal Code, 1860<\/a>. Later the offence of rape was also alleged per the statement of the victim under Section 164<\/a> of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Analysis<\/h3>\n

The Court noted that it is an admitted fact that the victim filed the complaint 17 years after the alleged incident took place and that Balachandra is a known cine artist. The Court stated that it is true that the investigation is going on but everyone must remember that pride and dignity are not only of women but of men as well. Noting the aforesaid, the Court held that it is a fit case for the grant of bail in the interest of justice.<\/p>\n

The Court reiterated that bail is the rule and jail is the exception. Considering the dictum laid down in the cases of P. Chidambaram<\/span> v. Directorate of Enforcement<\/span> (2019) 9 SCC 66<\/a>, Siddharth<\/span> v. State of U.P<\/span>., (2022) 1 SCC 676<\/a>, and Manish Sisodia<\/span> v. Directorate of Enforcement<\/span>, 2023 SCC OnLine Del 3550<\/a>, the Court allowed the bail application subject to certain directions.<\/p>\n

[Balachandra Menon v. State of Kerala, 2024 SCC OnLine Ker 7247<\/a>, decided on 11-12-2024<\/span>]<\/p>\n\n
