BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.M.S.BREEZ THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/05/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Kss V. RAMKUMAR, J. ============================= Bail Application No.3315 of 2011 ================================ Dated this the 3rd day of May, 2011 ORDER Petitioner, who is the accused in Crime No.116/2011 of Vandiperiyar Police Station for offences punishable under Sections 354,341,506(i) and 201 read with 34 IPC, 66(E), 67(B), (a) and (c) of the Information Technology Act, 2000, seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 03.04.2011. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application contending, inter alia, that the petitioner and others had taken the nude photograph of the victim by forcibly undressing her and transfered the same to other mobile phones. 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 B.A. No. 3315 of 2011 2 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) sj
