BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SMT.R.RAMA THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/12/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: tss V. RAMKUMAR, J. ============================= Bail Application No.10371 of 2011 ================================ Dated this the 19th day of December, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.216 of 2011 of Kodenchery Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 307 IPC, seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 23.11.2011. The petitioner was arrested on 30.11.2011. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 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 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
