RAMKUMAR, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = B.A.No.1560 of 2009 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated, this the 30th day of March, 2009 ORDER Petitioner who is the sole accused in Crime No.170 of 2009 of Chengannur Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 497,384,313 and 306 IPC seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 4.03.2009. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. The petitioner was having illicit connection with the deceased. He took her nude photograph and blackmailed her. 3. Having regard to the nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the nature of the legal injury sustained and the other facts and circumstances of the case, 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 30th day of March, 2009 V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj
