BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: sts V.RAMKUMAR, J. ---------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.7269 of 2010 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 15th day of November, 2010 ORDER The petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.1340 of 2010 of Kadavanthara Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 341, 294(b), 324 & 308 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 09/09/2010. The petitioner was arrested on 10/10/2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner is a goonda element and involved in other crimes including NDPS Act cases and there are three lacerated injuries on the head of the victim in the occurrence which took place inside a bar hotel. 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 Bail Appln.No.7269/2010 : 2 : 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 skj
