The petitioner is the 4th accused in Crime No.396 of 2011 of the Neyyattinkara Police Station. 2.The offences alleged against the petitioner are under Sections 466, 467, 468, 471 and 120-B read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. The prosecution case is the following: Accused No.3 was the accused in LP No.51 of 2007 on the file of the Court of the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class-III, Neyyattinkara. For releasing him on bail, accused Nos.1 and 2 stood as sureties. They produced forged revenue receipts, forged electoral card of accused No.2 and forged driving license of accused No.1. The learned B.A.No.5907 OF 2011 2 Magistrate found that the documents were forged. Accused No.4 (petitioner) is alleged to be the person who arranged accused Nos.1 and 2 with the forged documents. It is also alleged that accused No.4 is the person who introduced accused Nos.1 and 2 to accused No.5 who manufactured the forged documents. 4. The petitioner was arrested on 12.7.2011 and he was remanded to judicial custody. 5. The offences alleged against the petitioner and the other accused are grave in nature. Investigation is at the initial stage. If the petitioner is released on bail at this stage, it is most likely that he would try to influence or intimidate the witnesses and tamper with evidence. It is also likely that the petitioner may make himself scarce. For the aforesaid reasons, the Bail Application is dismissed. K.T.SANKARAN, JUDGE cms
