PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: svs/ V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................. Bail Application No. 7137 of 2010 ..................................................... Dated: 11th day of November, 2010 ORDER Petitioner, who is the sole accused in Crime No.560/2010 of Nileshwar Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 449, 302 and 397 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 17.8.2010. The petitioner was arrested on 2.9.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that this is a case of pre-planned murder of deceased Thankamani with whom the petitioner had developed an illicit intimacy and he had after causing her death with 43 stab injuries had sprinkled chilly powder all over the body to throw the police off the scent and had taken away 12 sovereigns of gold ornaments belonging to her. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, the 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, Bail Application No. 7137 of 2010 2 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) dmb
