BREEZ, PUBLIC PROSECUTOR THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 17/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ===================== B.A. No. 1224 of 2009 ====================== Dated, this the 17th day of March, 2009. ORDER Petitioners who are accused Nos. 1 and 2 in Crime No.202 of 2008 of Poojappura Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 149, 324 and 302 IPC and Section 27 of the Arms Act seek their enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 11.07.2008. The 1st petitioner was arrested on 16.11.2008 and the 2nd petitioner was arrested on 26.10.2008. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the nature of the offences, the nature of legal injury 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 17th day of March, 2009. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
