OF POLICE, CHERUTHURUTHY POLICE STATION, THRISSUR DISTRICT. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 20/06/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ============================= Bail Application No.4667 of 2011 ================================ Dated this the 20th day of June, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.187/2011 of Cheruthuruthy Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 376 IPC, seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 18.5.2011. The petitioner was arrested on 20.05.2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that this is a case in which 19 year old girl was enticed through telephone and induced to go to Shornur Railway Station from where the petitioner had craftly taken her to his house and ravished her. 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 bail, he will definitely influence B.A. No.4667 of 2011 2 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. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj
