The occurrence took place on 15/06/2010. The petitioner was arrested on 01/07/2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the deceased Praveen who was 29 years old was brutally murdered in the presence of his mother, daughter, etc., and that the petitioner is involved in eight other crimes including those punishable under Sections 308, 392 I.P.C., etc and that proceedings under KAPPA are pending against the petitioner. 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 Bail Appln.No.6867/2010 : 2 : 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 himself scarce and fleeing from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. 4. The Sessions Court before to which the case has been made over shall make an earnest endeavour to dispose of the case expeditiously. This petition is accordingly dismissed. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE skj
