RAMKUMAR, J. =============================== Bail Application No. 1527 of 2010 =============================== DATED: 16.03.2010 ORDER Petitioner who is the accused in Crime No.96 of 2010 of Chokli Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 376 and 506(1) IPC seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 30.1.2010. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the nature of the offences, the nature of the legal injury , the relatively short duration of the judicial custody undergone by the petitioner, the present stage of investigation and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am satisfied 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) sj
