PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. C.S. HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 08/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 4403 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated: 08-06-2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No. 568 of 2011 of Kothamangalam Police Station, Ernakulam, for an offence punishable under Sec. 306 of I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 23-05-2011. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, 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, 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 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 8th day of June, 2011. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani/
