BY ADV. SRI.RAJIV NAMBISAN RESPONDENT: --------------- STATE OF KERALA, REP.BY GOVT. PLEADER HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.V.MANU THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 05/04/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ------------------------ Bail Appln.No.2595 of 2011 ------------------------ Dated this the 5th day of April, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is accused No.3 in Crime No.58 of 2011 of Aluva West Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 366(A), 376(2)(g) of I.P.C. and under Section 3(1)(xi) of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 25/12/2010. The petitioner was arrested on 01/02/2011. 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 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 5 th day of April, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. skj
