THE STATION HOUSE OFFICER, CC.838/2007 OF THE JMFC-II, HOSDURG(CRIME NO.96/0R OF BEKAL POLICE STATION) BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/09/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: tss V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No.5535 of 2010 ..................................................... Dated: 13.09.2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.96 of 2004 of Bekel Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 457,380,461 and 75 IPC seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 09.03.2004. The petitioner was arrested on 23.04.2010. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. The learned Public Prosecutor further submitted that the petitioner is involved in seven other crimes of the similar nature and has been absconding in the initial stages. 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 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
