PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.C.S.HRITHWIK THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 15/10/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: SJ V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 6451 of 2010 ..................................................... Dated: 15th October, 2010 ORDER Petitioner who is the sole accused in Crime No. 68 of 2009 of Varkala Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 306 I.P.C. seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner surrendered before Court on 6-09-2010. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending inter alia that the petitioner and deceased Apsara aged 20 years were nursing students and they were in love with each other and the petitioner masquerading as true lover had impregnated her and subsequently on a proposal by the petitioner there was an engagement of their marriage from which the petitioner subsequently resiled and the heart-broken girl committed suicide by hanging inside her hostel room on 21-9-2009. Bail Application No. 6451 of 2010 -:2:- 3. Having regard to the nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioner, the relative conduct of the parties, the nature of the injury sustained , the sentiments of the near relative of the victim and the other facts and circumstances of the case, 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) ani.
