BY SUB INSPECTOR OF POLICE, THIRUVALLA POLICE STATION (CRIME NO.583 OF 2010 OF THIRUVALLA POLICE STATION) THROUGH PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 21/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------------------- Bail Appln.No.4700 of 2011 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 21st day of June, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.583 of 2011 of Thiruvalla Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 366, 354 & 307 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 28/04/2011. The petitioner was arrested on 29/04/2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner who is an autorikshaw driver was carrying the 28 year old victim employed as a nurse in Pushpagiri Hospital and when the autorikshaw reached near her house, instead of stopping the three wheeler the petitioner sped the vehicle with a view to outrage modesty of the victim. When the victim jumped out of the autorikshaw she fell down and sustained injuries to the scull and the petitioner had chased her even after that. 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 Bail Appln.No.4700/2011 : 2 : 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 21st day of June, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. skj
