THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 31/01/2011,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: prv. V.RAMKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.608 of 2011 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 31st day of January, 2011 ORDER The petitioner, who is accused No.1 in Crime No.38 of 2008 of Manjeswar Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 332 & 402 read with Section 149 I.P.C. and Section 3(1) of P.D.P.P.Act, seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 09/12/2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner who is involved in five other theft cases had jumped bail after he was released on bail during crime stage. 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 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. Bail Appln.No.608/2011 : 2 : 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. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
