The occurrence took place on 12/02/2011. The petitioner was arrested on 14/02/2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner who was the driver of the victim, a woman aged 46 years having her husband abroad and children studying outside, had developed an amorous relationship with the victim resulting in the victim committed suicide by cutting her vein after leaving a suicide note implicating the petitioner. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offence, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the extent of the injury sustained, the propensities of the petitioner, 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 petitioner is released on bail, he will definitely influence and Bail Appln.No.1576/2011 : 2 : intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the likelihood of the petitioner making himself scarce and fleeing from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. This petition is accordingly dismissed. Dated this the 7th day of March, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. skj
