PUBLIC PROSECUTOR MR.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: dmb V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................. Bail Application No. 6831 of 2010 ..................................................... Dated: 3rd day of November, 2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 4th accused in Crime No.347/2006 of Kalpakancheri Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 120(B), 447, 326 and 307 read with 34 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 08.9.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter-alia that the petitioner had attacked the witness in a rape case. 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 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. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) dmb
