SHRI P.G.THAMPI THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/11/2006, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V.RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------------------- B.A.No. 6894 OF 2006 ----------------------------------------------------------- DATED THIS THE 23rd DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2006 O R D E R Petitioner, who is the 3rd accused in Crime No.183/06 of Munnar Police Station for offences punishable under sections 392, 302 and 120B read with section 34 IPC, seeks bail. 2. The Sessions Judge was not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. This Court also on an earlier occasion was not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Sensing dismissal of her application, she got the application dismissed as withdrawn. It is now submitted by the Director General of Prosecution that the case has already been posted for trial by the Sessions Judge and that if the petitioner is allowed to be released on bail, she, who is highly connected may flee from justice. This was precisely the apprehension expressed by the trial Judge also. Under these circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Admittedly, the case has been posted for trial. This application is accordingly dismissed with a direction to the learned Sessions Judge to expedite the trial. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE dsn
