SRI.DILEEP P.PILLAI RESPONDENT(S): COMPLAINANT ------------------------------------ STATE OF KERALA, REPRESENTED BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 01/04/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ============================= Bail Application No.2555 of 2011 ================================ Dated this the 1st day of April, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 8th accused in Crime No.270/2011 of Paravur Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143,147,148,149,294(b),324,326 and 307 IPC read with Section 3(ii)(e) of Prevention of Damages to Public Property Act,1984, seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 14.03.2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending, inter alia, that on receiving information to the effect that an affray was going on, the Police proceeded to the spot and were attacked by the members of the affray resulting in three policemen sustaining fracture and damage to the police jeep. 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 B.A. No. 2555 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 1st day of April, 2011 V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj
