SIVAKUMAR PUBLIC PROSECUTOR THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 03/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ===================== B.A. No. 799 of 2009 ====================== Dated, this the 3rd day of March, 2009. ORDER Petitioners who are the accused in Crime No. 104 of 2009 of Hosdurg Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 457, 436 and 427 r/w Section 149 IPC seek their enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 04.02.2009. The petitioners were arrested on 06.02.2009. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the nature of the offences, the nature of injuries sustained by the injured, the relatively short duration of the judicial custody undergone by the petitioners, the present stage of investigation and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am satisfied 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 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 3rd day of March, 2009. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
