BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: tss V.RAMKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.1636 of 2011 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of March, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is accused No.2 in Crime No.350 of 2005 of Palakkad Town South Police Station (CBCID, OCW III No.533/CR/10) for offences punishable under Sections 457, 380 & 406 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 21/02/2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the attached movables which were entrusted on kaichit to the petitioner herein and kept in the premises of A1 were fraudulently sold and the petitioner had not raised any complaint against the same except putting the whole blame on A1. The liability of A1 in the R.R. proceedings was for a sum of `1,22,99,082/-. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the propensities of the petitioner 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 Bail Appln.No.1636/2011 : 2 : 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 7th day of March, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. skj
