PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: svs/ V.RAMKUMAR, J. ---------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.7529 of 2010 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 30th day of November, 2010 ORDER The petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.1122 of 2010 of Chathannoor Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 363, 366 & 376 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 12/10/2010. 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, 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 from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. This petition is accordingly dismissed. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
