The occurrence which is the subject matter of Crime No. 267 of 2007 took place at 2.30 a.m. on 28-4-2007 when a tailoring shop was completely gutted by fire. The occurrence in Crime No. 306 of 2007 as at 12 noon on 8-5-2007 in the course of which the assailants are alleged to have trespassed into the house of the de facto complainant and damaged furniture and other house-hold articles and committed robbery of 8 sovereigns Bail Application Nos. 3407 of 2007 & 3414 of 2007 -:2:- of gold. Accused Nos. 1, 9 and 19 in Crime No. 267 of 2007 are the very same petitioners in B.A. 3404 of 2007. 4. Having regard to the nature of the offences, the duration of the judicial custody of the petitioners, the present stage of investigation and the other facts and circumstances of the case, 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 inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage. These petitions is accordingly dismissed. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani.
