PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.V.MANU THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 04/04/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------------------- Bail Appln.No.2521 of 2011 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 4th day of April, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is accused No.2 in Crime No.124 of 2011 of Nadakkavu Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 379 read with Section 34 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 19/02/2011. The petitioner was arrested on 24/02/2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner is involved in 3 other cases of chain snatching. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offence, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the 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. Dated this the 4th day of April, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. skj
