BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: sts V.RAMKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.1246 of 2011 ----------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 21st day of February, 2011 ORDER The petitioner, who is accused No.2 in Crime No.1503 of 2010 of Irinjalakuda Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 457, 461 & 380 read with Section 34 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 04/01/2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner is an accused in two other theft cases and in the instant case he along with A1 who is none other than his own uncle had committed theft of holy relics from the Mapranam Church. 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 and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the view that if the petitioner is released on Bail Appln.No.1246/2011 : 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. Dated this the 21st day of February, 2011. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
