BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM (CRIME NO.215 OF 2005 OF PARIPALLY POLICE STATION, PENDING AS C.P.NO.33 OF 2010 BEFORE JUDICIAL FIRST CLASS MAGISTRATE, SOUTH PARAVUR, KOLLAM. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. M.S. BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Kss V. RAMKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.558 of 2011 --------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of January, 2011 ORDER The petitioner, who is accused No.4 in Crime No.215 of 2005 of Parippally Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 55(i) of the Abkari Act, seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 05/01/2011. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offence, 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 B.A.No.558/2011 2 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
