BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.V.MANU THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: svs V. RAMKUMAR, J. ============================= Bail Application No.1714 of 2011 ================================ Dated this the 10th day of March, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.155/2011 of Muvattupuzha Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 363, 354 and 376 read with 34 IPC and Sections 66(E), 67,67A and 67B of the Information Technology Act, seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 13.01.2011. 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 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. 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 B.A. No. of 201 2
