PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S. HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 13/10/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 5987 of 2010 ..................................................... Dated: 13-10-2010 ORDER Petitioner who is the accused in Crime No. 159 of 2010 of Peruvanthanam Police Station, Idukki District for offences punishable under Sections 341, 294 (b) and 308 read with Sec. 34 I.P.C. seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 22-06-2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner had shot at the de facto complainant with an air pistol and it was due to the time swerving of the vehicle that he escaped and the reason for using the firearm was that the de facto complainant did not allow the petitioner to overtake his vehicle. The petitioner is involved in nine other crimes including cases involving Sec. 302 and 395 I.P.C. The present case (S.C. No. 346 of 2010) is posted Bail Application No. 5987 of 2010 -:2:- for trial before the Sessions Court , Kozhikode for framing charge. 3. Having regard to the nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the nature of the injury sustained , the sentiments of the near relative of the victim 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. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani.
