RAMKUMAR, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= B.A. No. 1196 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this the 18th day of March, 2009 O R D E R Petitioner who is the 1st accused in Crime No. 357/2008 of Kazhakuttom Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 427 read with section 34 IPC and 3 of the Explosive Substances Act, seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 27-10- 2008. The petitioner was arrested on 12-1-2009. 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 petitioner, the present stage of investigation and the other facts and circumstances of the case, I am satisfied 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. mn.
