BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. C.S. HRITHWIK. THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/03/2011,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: prv. V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 1585 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated this the 4th day of March, 2011. ORDER Petitioner, who is the first accused in C.R No.318 of 2006 of Chengannur Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 379 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 14.06.2006. The petitioner was arrested on 27.11.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner is involved in five other crimes involving theft of vehicles. 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. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
