BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI. C.S. HRITHWIK. THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/01/2011,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: prv. V. RAMKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.8707 of 2010 --------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of January, 2011 ORDER The petitioner, who is accused No.1 in Crime No.843 of 2010 of Viyyur Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 408 read with Section 34 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 19/11/2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application submitting inter alia that about 70 persons from the lowest strata of the society were induced to part with amounts totaling to `13,80,000/- by the petitioner and the others promising them various attractive schemes under the name Micro Finance and the petitioner who belongs to Tamil Nadu will flee from justice if he is released on bail. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offence, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the propensities of the petitioner 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 B.A.No.8707/2010 2 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 skj
