BY ADV. SRI.R.V.SREEJITH RESPONDENT(S): COMPLAINANT ------------------------------------------------------ STATE OF KERALA REPRESENTED BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 05/01/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ============================= Bail Application No.8816 of 2010 ================================ Dated this the 5th day of January, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.562/2010 of Vilappilsala Police Station for offences punishable under Section 376 IPC, seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner surrendered on 21.12.2010. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 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 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 5th day of January, 2011. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj
