RESPONDENT/COMPLAINANT: -------------------------------------------- STATE OF KERALA REPRESENTED BY S.I.OF POLICE, PERUMBAVOOR POLICE STATION,ERNAKULAM, THROUGH THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. V. TEKCHAND. THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: prv. V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 1190 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated this the 18th day of February, 2011. ORDER Petitioners, who are accused Nos. 1 to 3 in Crime No. 166 of 2004 of Perumbavoor Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 379 read with Section 34 I.P.C., seek their enlargement on bail. The petitioners surrendered on 05.02.2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioners who are ladies from Tamil Nadu, have no fixed place of abode and they had jumped bail after they were released on bail during the crime stage and the occurrence took place on 04.03.2004. 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 likelihood of the petitioners making themselves scarce and fleeing from justice. I am, therefore, not B.A. No. 1190 of 2011 2 inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage. This petition is accordingly dismissed. The trial court shall expedite the trial of the case. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
