The petitioner is accused No.14 in Crime No.340 of 2011 of Pangodu Police Station, Thiruvananthapuram District. 2. The offences alleged against the petitioner are under Sections 392, 449, 302, 201, 216-A, 411 and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code. 3. The prosecution case is that on 05/05/2011, the accused committed robbery of a jewellery after committing the murder of the watchman of the jewellery. The allegation against the petitioner is that he received stolen property. The petitioner was arrested on 23.6.2011. 4. 1.5 Kgs. of gold and 2,15,000/- was robbed by the culprits from the jewellery. The investigation is fast progressing. All the accused have not been arrested. The stolen property has not been recovered in full. If the petitioner is released on bail at this stage, it is most likely that B.A.No.5956 of 2011 2 he would try to influence or intimidate the witnesses or tamper with the evidence. Considering the nature and seriousness of the offence and the circumstances mentioned above, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. The Bail Application is accordingly dismissed. K.T.SANKARAN, JUDGE cms
