MR. M.S. BREEZ, PUBLIC PROSECUTOR THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 20/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. ===================== B.A. No. 1180 of 2009 ====================== Dated, this the 20th day of March, 2009. ORDER Petitioners who are accused Nos. 2 and 4 in Crime No.111 of 2009 of Kayamkulam Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 395 IPC., seek their enlargement on bail. The petitioners were arrested on 07.02.2009. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the nature of the offences, the nature of legal injury sustained by the injured, the relatively short duration of the judicial custody undergone by the petitioners, the present stage of investigation and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am satisfied that if the petitioners are released on bail, they will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the likelihood of the petitioners making themselves scarce and fleeing from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage. This petition is accordingly dismissed. Dated this the 20th day of March, 2009. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
