PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.K.K.RAJEEV THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 14/12/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: K.T.SANKARAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------ Bail Appl. NO. 9965 OF 2011 ------------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 14th day of December, 2011 O R D E R This is an application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The petitioner is accused No.1 in Crime No.1050 of 2011 of Kilimanoor Police Station, Thiruvananthapuram District. 2. The offences alleged against the accused are under Sections 447, 341, 323 and 308 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. The prosecution case is the following: On 21.10.2011 at 10.30 P.M., the accused persons went to the house of the defacto complainant and attacked him with a knife and inflicted five incised wounds on various parts of his body including his forehead. It is alleged that the accused attacked the victim on account of the refusal made by the victim to take the accused in his car and also on his refusal to pay `200/-. The petitioner was arrested on 19.11.2011 and he was remanded to judicial custody. BAIL APPL. NO.9965 OF 2011 :: 2 :: 4. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the petitioner is involved in two other crimes. Investigation is in progress. 5. In the facts and circumstances of the case and also taking note of the injuries sustained by the defacto complainant, I am of the view that it is not proper to release the petitioner on bail at this stage. If the petitioner is released on bail, it would adversely affect the proper investigation of the case. It is most likely that the petitioner may influence and intimidate the witnesses and tamper with the evidence, if he is released on bail. For the aforesaid reasons, the Bail Application is dismissed.
