PETITIONER:A7 ------------------ AMBU, S/O.SAIFUDHEEN, KATTUVILA VEEDU, KEEZHATTINGAL VILLAGE, KEEZHATTINGAL DESOM. BY ADV. SRI.SASTHAMANGALAM S. AJITHKUMAR SRI.P.M.SANEER SRI.V.S.THOSHIN RESPONDENT(S): --------------- STATE OF KERALA REPRESENTED BY THE SUB INSPECTOR OF POLICE, ATTINGAL POLICE STATION REPRESENTED THROUGH THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: svs V.RAMKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.1628 of 2011 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 9th day of March, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is accused No.7 in Crime No.41 of 2002 of Attingal Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 395 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner surrendered on 17/12/2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner who had absconded was arrested and produced before the court on 17/12/2010 and that he is involved in two other cases one case under Section 395 I.P.C. and other case under Section 308 I.P.C. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offence, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the extent of the injury sustained, the propensities of the petitioner and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that if the petitioner is released on bail, he will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the likelihood of the petitioner making himself scarce and fleeing Bail Appln.No.1628/2011 : 2 : from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. The learned Assistant Sessions Judge, Attingal shall expedite the trial of L.P.No.27 of 2009 which much have been re-numbered after the production of the petitioner. This petition is accordingly dismissed. Dated this the 9th day of March, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. skj
