BREEZE THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Mn V. RAMKUMAR, J. .................................................... Bail Application No. 1630 of 2011 ..................................................... Dated this the 17th day of March, 2011. ORDER Petitioners, who are accused Nos.1 and 3 in Crime No.20 of 2001 of Central Police Station, Ernakulam for offences punishable under Sections 379, 201 and 419 read with Section 34 I.P.C., seek their enlargement on bail. The occurrence took place on 29.12.2000. The petitioners were arrested on 06.01.2011 and 23.12.2010 respectively. 2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application. 3. Having regard to the gravity of the offences, nature of the allegations levelled against the petitioners, the relative conduct of the parties, the extent of the injury sustained, the propensities of the petitioners, 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 petitioners are released on bail, they will definitely influence and intimidate the prosecution witnesses. There is also the likelihood of the petitioners making themselves scarce and fleeing from justice. I am, therefore, not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage. This petition is accordingly dismissed. V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. rv
