BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/01/2011,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Kss V. RAMKUMAR, J. ============================= Bail Application No.249 of 2011 ================================ Dated this the 19th day of January, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.1757/2010 of Kottiyam Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 308,447 and 326 IPC seeks his enlargement on bail. The formal arrest of the petitioner was on 22.12.2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending, inter alia, that the victim was assaulted with a chopper resulting in incised wound with fracture of the skull and the petitioner is involved in two more crimes. 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 B.A. No.249 of 2011 2 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. Dated this the 19th day of January, 2011. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj
