PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 28/12/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V.RAMKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.8463 of 2010 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of December, 2010 ORDER The petitioners, who are accused Nos.2 & 3 in Crime No.802 of 2008 of Kollam East Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 465, 468, 471 read with Section 34 I.P.C. and Section 12(1)(b) of Indian Passport Act, seek their enlargement on bail. The petitioners were surrendered on 13/12/2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioners are the persons who manufactured the bogus documents to facilitate A1 to apply for a fake passport. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioners, the relative conduct of the parties, the propensities of the petitioners 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 Bail Appln.No.8463/2010 : 2 : 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. This petition is accordingly dismissed. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
