PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: tss V.RAMKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.771 of 2011 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 10th day of February, 2011 ORDER The petitioner, who is accused No.1 in Crime No.250 of 2010 of Karuvarakundu Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 489B read with Section 34 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 20/11/2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner purchased 60 counterfeit notes of 1000 rupees denomination from A1 who got it from A4 who got it from abroad and that it is a racket having international ramifications. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offence, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, 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 Appln.No.771/2011 : 2 : 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. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj Bail Appln.No.771/2011 : 3 : V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
