RAMKUMAR, J. .................................. Bail Application No. 6949 of 2010 ..................................................... Dated: 1st day of November, 2010 ORDER Petitioners, who are accused Nos.1 and 2 in Crime No.868/2010 of Town East Police Station, Thrissur for offences punishable under Sections 406 and 420 read with 34 I.P.C., seek their enlargement on bail. The petitioners were arrested on 10.10.2010. 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 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) dmb
