PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27/10/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: SVS/ V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................. Bail Application No. 6646 of 2010 ..................................................... Dated: 27th day of October, 2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.523/2010 of Thrikkodithanam Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 294(b), 323 and 308 IPC, seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 13.8.2010. The petitioner was arrested on 13.9.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter-alia that the injured in this case sustained a bone deep injury on the forehead with a knife wielded by the petitioner who is involved in two other murder cases and the present crime was committed while he was on bail in the Paul Muthoot murder case. 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. Bail Application No. 6646 of 2010 2 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) dmb
