ALI, ACQUARIL VEEDU, PALLIPRAM BHAGOM, KOONAMTHAI KARA, EDAPPILLY NORTH. BY ADV. SRI.C.P.UDAYABHANU RESPONDENT: COMPLAINANT. --------------------------- STATE OF KERALA, REPRESENTED BY THE C.I. OF POLICE, NORTH PARAVUR POLICE STATION, (CRIME NO.346/11), REPRESENTED BY THE PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 24/05/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ----------------------------------------------- Bail Appln.No.3836 of 2011 ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 24th day of May, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is accused No.13 in Crime No.346 of 2011 of North Paravur Police Station, Ernakulam, for offences punishable under Sections 366-A, 354, 376(2)(g), 506 (1), 342 & 202 read with Section 34 I.P.C., seeks her enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 21/03/2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that this is the notorious North Paravur Gang Rape case and the petitioner had supplied the girl to various customers and the petitioner's contention that at best the offence which is made out against the petitioner is only one punishable under Section 372 I.P.C. cannot be accepted. 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 B.A.No.3836/2011 2 bail, she will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the likelihood of the petitioner making herself 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 24th day of May, 2011. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. skj
