PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. C.S. HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/09/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: SVS/ V. RAMKUMAR, J. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Bail Application No. 5381 of 2010 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dated:14th day of September, 2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 1st accused in Crime No.511/2010 of Kattakada Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 302, 498(A) and 306 IPC, seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 25.8.2010. The petitioner was arrested on 27.8.2010. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. The learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the petitioner, who is a citizen of Denmark was already having a wife and children at Denmark and it was his quarrel against his present wife's mother which resulted in his wife (A2) killing the infant child and committing suicide. 3. Having regard to the nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the nature of the injury sustained and the other facts and circumstances of the case, 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 Bail Application No. 5381 of 2010 2 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) dmb
