BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/12/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: tss V.RAMKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.8380 of 2010 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of December, 2010 ORDER The petitioner, who is accused No.4 in Crime No.2709 of 2010 of Kottarakkara Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 379 & 120(B) read with Section 34 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 23/11/2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner is involved in other crimes as well and that steps under Sections 82 & 83 Cr.P.C. are pending against him before the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class-II, Kottarakkara and if the petitioner is released on bail he will definitely flee from justice. 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 Bail Appln.No.8380/2010 : 2 : 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. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
