BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: svs V. RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------------------- Bail Appln.No.4042 of 2011 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 1st day of June, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.735 of 2011 of Angamali Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 511 & 376 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 15/05/2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner who is aged 50 years had ravished the 16 year old victim and medical records also corroborate the prosecution case. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the party, 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 B.A.No.4042/2011 2 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 1st day of June, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. skj
