BY ADV. SRI.P.SAMSUDIN RESPONDENT(S)/COMPLAINANT :- ------------------------------------------------ THE STATE KERALA REPRESENTED BY THE DETECTIVE INSPECTOR, C.B.C.I.D, OWC 1, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, THROUGH THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM, COCHIN-682 031. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR MR.M.S.BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: jvt V. RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------------------- Bail Appln.No. 1920 of 2011 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 15th day of March, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 10th accused in Crime No.6/CB- 2/2005 of Thiruvananthapuram Cantonment Police Station (renumbered as C.B.C.I.D Crime No.166/CR/SI/05) for offences punishable under Sections 489(B), 489(C) and 489(D) read with 34 and 511 of 420 I.P.C, seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 04.01.2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter-alia that the petitioner is a person, who manufactured the fake currency notes of Rs.100/- denomination which were eventually seized from A1 to A3 and that the petitioner is involved in yet another crime in similar nature and has been convicted by the trial Court. His appeal is pending before this Court. 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 Appln.No. 1920 of 2011 2 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 15th day of March, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. dmb
