RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 3093 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated: 03-05-2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the accused first accused in Crime No. 149 of 2011 of Kazhakuttom Police Station, Thiruvananthapuram District for an offence punishable under Sec. 376 read with Sec. 34 I.P.C. and Sections 66, 67 (A) 67 (B) and ( C ) of Information Technology Act, seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner surrendered on 16-3-2011. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 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 B.A. No. 3093 of 2011 -:2:- 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. Dated this the 3rd day of May, 2011. Sd/-V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani/ /true copy/ P.S. to Judge
