PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: svs/ V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No.7518 of 2010 ..................................................... Dated this the 25th day of November, 2010. ORDER Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.621 of 2010 of Kuruppampady Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 302 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 26.09.2010. The petitioner was arrested on 27.09.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that this was a case of uxoricidc by the petitioner against whom four cases including offences punishable under section 498-A IPC are pending. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the extent of the injury sustained, the propensities of the petitioner, 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 petitioner is released on bail, he will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the likelihood of the petitioner making B.A. No. 7518/2010 : 2 : 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. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) rv
