PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 29/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V.RAMKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.2337 of 2011 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 29th day of March, 2011 ORDER Petitioners, who are accused Nos.1, 2, 4 & 9 in Crime No.270 of 2011 of Paravur Police Station, Kollam District for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 294(b), 324, 326 & 307 read with Section 149 I.P.C., seek their enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 04/03/2011. The petitioners were arrested on 15/03/2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that in the assault made by the petitioner and the others, 3 policemen sustained fractures. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioners, the relative conduct of the parties, the extent of the injury sustained, the propensities of the petitioners, 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 petitioners are released on bail, they will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the likelihood of the petitioners making themselves scarce and Bail Appln.No.2337/2011 : 2 : fleeing from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage. This petition is accordingly dismissed. Dated this the 29th day of March, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. skj
