RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 4287 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated this the 8th day of June, 2011. ORDER Petitioner, who is the first accused in Crime No.307 of 2011 of Pala Police Station, Kottayam for offences punishable under Sections 120(b), 419 and 376 r/w Section 34 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 15.05.2011. 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 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. sd/- V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
