RAMKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------------- Bail Application No.198 of 2011 --------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of January, 2011 ORDER The petitioner, who is accused No.3 in Crime No.276 of 2004 of CBCID, EDW-1, Kollam for offences punishable under Sections 420, 468, 471 & 34 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 08/12/2010. 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 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 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
