The Petitioner is the accused in Crime No.586 of 2011 of Kannur Town Police Station. 2. The offences alleged against the petitioner are under Sections 380 and 457 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. The prosecution case is that between 11 P.M. on 24/05/2011 and 2 A.M. on 25/05/2011, the accused broke open a mobile shop and committed theft of 59 mobile phones and a lap top computer. 4. The petitioner was arrested on 08/07/2011 and he was remanded to judicial custody. The petitioner is involved in several similar offences. If the petitioner is released is bail, it is most likely that he would commit similar offences causing loss and inconvenience to general public. It is also most likely that the petitioner may abscond and flee from justice. In a similar case, in C.C.No.551 of 2010 on the file of the court of the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class-I, Kannur, though Bail Appln.No.8162/2011 : 2 : bail was granted to the petitioner, he jumped bail. In these circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The Bail Application is accordingly dismissed. K.T.SANKARAN, JUDGE skj
