SIVAKUMAR, PUBLIC PROSECUTOR THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 08/04/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ===================== B.A. No. 2009 of 2009 ===================== Dated, this the 8th day of April, 2009. ORDER Petitioners who are accused Nos. 2, 3 and 4 in Crime No. 171 of 2009 of Mavelikkara Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 420 and 406 r/w Section 34 IPC seek their enlargement on bail. The petitioners were arrested on 02.04.2009. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioners, the relative conduct of the parties, the nature of the legal injury sustained and the other facts and circumstances of the case, if the petitioners are released on bail, they will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the likelihood of the petitioners making themselves scarce and fleeing from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage. This petition is accordingly dismissed. Dated this the 8th day of April, 2009. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
