PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 06/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. =============================== Bail Application No.1042 of 2009 =============================== DATED: 06.03.2009 ORDER Petitioner, who is the 3rd accused in Crime No.104 of 2009 of Hosdurg Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 143,147,148,457,436 & 427 read with 149 IPC seek his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 06.02.2008. 2. The application was opposed on behalf of the prosecution. 3. Having regard to the nature of the offences, the nature of the legal injury , 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. Dated this the 6th day of March, 2009 V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) sj
