Hrithwikl THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 08/04/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 2703 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated: 08-04-2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No. 43 of 2011 of Vidhyanagar Police Station, Kasaragode for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 153 A and 302 read with Sec. 149 I.P.C. seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 24-01-2011 . The petitioner was arrested on 4-2-2011. 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. Dated this the 8th day of April, 2011. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE)
