BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: svs V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 1039 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated this the 16th day of February, 2011. ORDER Petitioner, who is the first accused in Cr. No.65 of 2011 of Vatakara Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 363, 394, 120(B) and 411 I.P.C., seeks his enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 14.01.2011. The petitioner was arrested on 29.01.2011. 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 extent of the injury sustained, the propensities of the petitioner, the sentiments of the near relatives of the victim 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. rv
