PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 01/04/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No.2562 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated this the 1st day of April, 2011 ORDER Petitioners, who are accused Nos.1 and 2 in Crime No.210/2011 of Gandhinagar Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 366, 376(e), 354, 324 and 506(1) read with 34 IPC seek their enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 10.03.2011 The petitioners were arrested on 13.03.2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending, inter alia, that the victim, who is a 24 year old lady who was in an advanced stage of pregnancy (7 months), was abducted by A1 and A2 and A1 ravished her. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioners, the relative conduct of the parties, the extent of the injury sustained, the propensities of the petitioners, 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 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. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj
