BREEZE, PUBLIC PROSECUTOR THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 23/05/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 2948 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated this the 23rd day of May, 2011. ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No. 119 of 2010 of Enathu Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 392 and 397 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 23.03.2010. The petitioner was arrested on 08.12.2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner is an accused in five crimes, all involving chain snatching by using motorcycle and charge sheet has already been filed in all the cases which are to be tried by the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Adoor. 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. 2948/2011 2 himself scarce and fleeing from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. The learned Magistrate shall, however, make every earnest endeavour to dispose of the cases expeditiously. This petition is accordingly dismissed. sd/- V.
