BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. C.S. HRITHWIK. THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 20/12/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: prv. V.RAMKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.8291 of 2010 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of December, 2010 ORDER The petitioner, who is accused No.2 in Crime No.3289 of 2010 of Aluva Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 406 & 420 read with Section 34 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 22/11/2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the 64 persons were cheated on promise of giving them visa involving `12,80,000/- and going by the statement of the de facto complainant a sum of `20,000/- was deposited in the account of the petitioner who has acting in concert with A1. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the propensities of the petitioner 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 Bail Appln.No.8291/2010 : 2 : 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
