RESPONDENT(S): COMPLAINANT: ---------------------------------------------------- STATE OF KERALA,REPRESENTED BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR,HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. M.S. BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/10/2010,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Kss V.RAMKUMAR, J. ---------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.6702 of 2010 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 26th day of October, 2010 ORDER The petitioners, who are accused Nos.1 & 2 in Crime No.2686 of 2010 of Central Police Station, Ernakulam for offences punishable under Sections 406 & 420 read with Section 34 I.P.C., seek their enlargement on bail. The petitioners were arrested on 26/9/2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioners and the other accused persons after hiring five vehicles on rent were subsequently making money out of it by pledging the same as if the vehicles belonged to them. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioners, the relative conduct of the parties, the extent of the injury sustained, the propensities of the petitioners, the sentiments of the near relatives of the victim and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that if the petitioners are released on bail, they will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the Bail Appln.No.6702/2010 : 2 : likelihood of the petitioners making themselves scarce and fleeing from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage. This petition is accordingly dismissed. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
