BY THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: svs V. RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------- Bail Application No.1369 of 2011 ------------------------------- DATED: 11.03.2011 O R D E R Petitioners, who are accused Nos.2 and 3 in Crime No.874/2010 of Kazhakuttom Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 465,468,471,419,420 and 34 IPC, seek their enlargement on bail. The petitioners surrendered on 29.01.2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending, inter alia, that the 1st accused in the case impersonated the Bishop who died on 23.7.1999 and transfered the property belonging to the late Bishop in favour of the 2nd accused and the 3rd accused is the person who concocted the documents. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioners, the relative conduct of the parties, the extent of the injury sustained, 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 Bail A.No.1369/2011 -:2:- intimidate the 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. Dated this the 11 th day of March, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. sj
